My! Adore, you're a far, far stronger person than I am. I might call someone before buying the alcohol, but once I had it, there would be no way I would call anyone until it was far too late. And I'd turn off the phone/ignore anybody who called. No way I could pour all that out.
Even when I got sober, I got sober at nine pm because that's when the bottle ran out. I knew that if I really did pour the rest out, I'd be mad at myself when I was detoxing, knowing that bit I poured out could ease my body. Kudos, Adore.
And Robbo, keep going. 26 is a lot.
