As someone who is new to this whole thing, I am just completely overwhelmed by the fact that I am never going to drink again. I mean I am 26 years old, all my friends are around this age or younger and al of them go out every week. It's a bit of a British thing in our culture I suppose where we go out 2 or 3 times a week and binge drink. It's just that my friends had the control and I didn't. I am lucky in a way, that I have a long term partner and a child, but given our culture I can't say for definite that I will never drink again.
I suppose it hasn't helped today that my nurse who is running my detox hasn't contacted me for two days and won't over the weekend, despite me being down and having real anxiety problems today. I am a bit worried about the weekend if I am honest.
