I don't wanna live like this anymore- the times I have been on the wagon have been some of my best times, yet I always keep going back to the pub...... It's like I'm drawn to it somehow.

I'm glad I've found SR hopefully the people on here can help me out and provide support.

It's odd, I'm holding down a good job and wife/kid but I've done enough Reading to know that this thing is progresive and will destroy me in the end. I've already started getting shootig pains in my kidneys although these go away if I have a few days on the wagon.

I look forward to chatting with people here on SR as I know I have a massive challenge ahead!
