Well thought I'd check in after all this time!!
Alcohol for me has been a double edged sword, my dad was an alcoholic, and I became an alcoholic, seeing things from both sides has allowed me to contribute to many areas of the Forum.
One day alcohol simply stopped working for me, a Friday evening in November 2013 was the final straw, things couldn't continue, another hangover at work and feeling like death, but something was different, I really really wanted to quit this time, I wanted a new life away from alcohol, I wanted this for me.
Since then I've been an active member of SR, this place has been a great place for support, I read, I post, I get involved with as many threads as I can, I'm a big sport lover so very big on sports threads, many people find sport and drinking inseparable, but if I can do it so can others!!
I guess over 1yr on, my life is unrecognisable from what it used to be, and if I can help others on my journey then that is a great thing!!
