Plenty of stuff but when it comes to the pain there are limited options. I didn't drink because I wanted a drink, I did it to get a little relief from the agony I was in yesterday. Luckily the pain today is more manageable and I'm resting so it shouldn't get worse, that means no alcohol is required.

I regularly see doctors because of the condition, there is no problem there, but I don't want the drinking on record. Doctors are recommending painkillers and I've had months to seriously consider it. I've been resisting for a while but after yesterday I think I may have to give in and do as the doctor recommends. I'll keep thinking about it a little more and see after next week.


But hey I don't need to drink today, I've noticed a big improvement in general well being while I've ben abstinent again, so it's definitely the way to go. A slip every now and then is bad and must be eliminated from my future, but it's way better than I was before.

Thanks to everyone for the replies.
