Like I just said to someone else - there's a million things to do on any given day - a good 900 thousand of them don't need to involve alcohol at all.
I have to agree with Miz too - you seem to be depressed a lot - are you resistant to getting help for that Acheleus?

First off ..so very glad you made it through today..and that you chatted with a girl! And that yes..you are going to investigate possible depression.
And sorry, I didn't mean that a pub was an alternative to drinking. He had just mentioned he had wanted to go listen to music which I assumed meant listen to a band. For me, I would find it dangerous to have to stop doing something I enjoyed like listening to bands or whatever because the common thought is avoid bars. It may have been poor to suggest..but as I say, my brain would hate to think I had to give up something I enjoyed to stay sober.
