Don't get me wrong - continuing from my last post - don't underestimate binge drinking. Unfortunately society does and it's easy to convey to the world, as I did for 30 or more years, that I'm just like everyone else!! Everyone goes down the pub, everyone drinks to excess weekends, everyone's out, I want to be part of the party. At one period I was bingeing about three times a week, I was so hungover I couldnt get my head off the pillow, it would take me all day to recover, then I'd think umm I could do with another drink. My life was he'll, I tried to hold down a full time job, run a home and family, meanwhile I was killing myself. Now, I cant hack it any more, a night bingeing takes me about three days to recover. I don't want it any more, I know it will be hard but I've got to do this. Thank you all for your support. Btw, I really do love being sober so it must be an illness to keep doing it to ourselves. Insanity!.
