Well last night saw me downing my LAST drink. I am determined that this must STOP!!

After 20 years of solid drinking at least x5 the reccomended alcohol units i have made the decision to quit. I cannot controll my drinking in the normal way, say drinking once a week or less wine per night so i have to stop completely.

I'm not sure how i came to the decision to stop, no bolt from the blue, no big row or getting into trouble. I think its just the case of enough is enough before too much damage is done to my health.

I guess i'm what is known as a functioning, dare i say it?....yes.... alcoholic.
Outwardly i have a charmed life. A good job large house three good kids and a loving wife. So why drink every night??? Habit? stuck in a rut? who knows.

I'm not really sure what to expect as this is the only time i have quit!! But i am determined that with the support from SR then this is the first day in my new life.
