    Graeme - Thank You for more of your wisdom and kindness :-)

    'Fedupandskint' - I'm alcohol free today after drinking yesterday.

    I'm going to look upon yesterday as a temporary 'blip', and today I decided to climb back on the wagon.

    As you say Graeme - it isn't just a question of willpower, and I can't do this on my own.

    AA meeting Saturday, and I'm sort of looking forward to it.

    Need sleep.

    Night night, sleep tight guys and gals.

    Sim x

    I wanted to cut down or stop drinking with all the will in the world, but it never happened for me.
    I believe alcoholism is an illness. If I have other illnesses, I get help from my doctor etc, I don't try and beat them by myself.
    Why should I not receive help with my alcoholism?
    In addition, the people that help me recover from the illness have all GOT the illness. They are the experts on this illness - I would be foolish not to listen to their wisdom.
