Im based in Leicester dgillz very near the city centre. Im feeling very strong today and really want to test my resolve tonight. It may sound stupid, and probably is, but I want to prove to myself that I dont need booze to be sociable. Im going to this and if the urge gets too much get a taxi and go home or tell my mate I cant stay and see if he will leave with me. Im not sure about AA at the moment as I have never believed in spirituality or god. I hope not to offend anybody that does. My strength right now is my children. I need to prove to their mother that I can do this and be a responsible Dad. Your comments and advice are an inspiration to me. Wish id found this place years ago!!!! Would prob not be in this mess now
