    Thank you everyone for your good wishes. 

    Sober October is going extremely well. 4 days completed successfully and no intention of breaking.  I don't know about any of you, but i always feel like I've invented the wheel when i don't drink. Alcohol HATES me. The slightest amount makes me sluggish and i get hangovers sooooooo easily. I have to take Milk Thistle supplements by the handful (to speed up my liver metabolism), quaff down water, take diorylte, painkillers and then I'm just about ready to function. When i don't drink I'm so much more productive, not sluggish, no indigestion from my almost daily vomitting. And yet i still do it!!!

    All the best
