Please keep hanging in there.
Yeah I am still hanging in there, believe me at the worst times it's tempting. When I originally came to this forum I didn't think there was a real cause to my drinking, but after reading lots of threads and really examining myself it does seem the pain is the major motivating factor. I may have fallen into drinking accidentily because originally I liked the taste, but after a while I was medicating this pain issue.
Two weeks until I see the specialist pain clinic, so I'll just battle through until then.
