I failed to get a handle on this for 19 years. The thing that's made the difference this time is that I believe myself when I say I don't want to drink again. I mean, I want to get drunk. But I really truly don't want to be a drinker. Not any more.

After that decision, I had to practise saying no. Hell no. Cardifflad's practised saying it with threats - 'offer me that drink again and you'll be wearing it' I think were his exact words...
