Hello,
yes I have read books on avrt and enjoyed that as well as went to aa meetings. I found they do help. I think for me it is a combo of emotional problems, my career, and just strength. I commit for a bit but I seem to always fall back into the nasty. I wish I could drink normally but then one or two always lead back to bender in time. This forum helps me a lot too. Today is day one and I'm almost through it. Tomorrow will be a hard challenge as I am a musician and have a gig at my local pub...
Really nice to be meeting all of you and chatting,
thank you
