Dee74,
l knew from experience that a few drinks would take the edge off and make me feel "normal" for a short while.
l also knew that the horrible symptoms would come back worse after a while.
But when felt so bad l didn't care.
All l wanted at that moment was instant relief.
Glad l have left that behind.
But still allways scared that it can happen again.
Now don't say you can't swear off drinking; it's easy. I've done it a thousand times.
