    I had to give it up:( My GP gave me a stark choice...stop drinking or die:eek: Went through a very bad time once when things were getting me down and started to self medicate to ease things but it just made it worse as I couldn't stand being sober:( I do miss having a social drink but just can't take the chance. I do feel miles better though for not drinking and may just have stopped before the point of no return:eek:

    Edit By the way for anyone else reading this later I am fine and if anyone needs to talk about drink and problems just get in touch

    oh my goodness Artha , it's so very honest of you to post this :A fair play to you for getting yourself back on track.

    Thank you for sharing :A

    Admitting you have a problem is the first stage to getting better:rotfl::rotfl:

    To be fair I couldn't have done it without a wonderful caring wife who tolerated a lot:).
