Gday TomSteve, just realised what you said. Your right I go days now not thinking about drinking! Now im just stressing about how I react to stress (lol just realised that sounds nuts).
Im often touched by how intelligent, insightful us recovering alcoholics are. Thankyou glad im not alone!! And spot on mountainmanbob, I didnt realise just how stressed i was inside till I stopped masking it with 12 beers a night.
