Syd,

I think we can be too hard on ourselves when we have a slip. The way I look at it is one slip out of so many days, hours and minutes is a big improvement on what went before, and a massive step in the right direction. I've said before that I'm in a bit of awe of people who can slip and then get back on the wagon right away. When I'm drinking I find it so hard to string more that 4 days together. As someone wrote on here, sorry can't remember who, it's easy to stay sober it's getting sober that's hard. There was also a comedian who said "quitting alcohol is easy I've done it many times". If I drink I know I'll disappear down the rabbit hole for months.

Sophisticated and mature sounds great, wife might laugh if I tell her though.


I'm a big fan of Singapore. I spend about 6 weeks working there 15 years or so ago. One day , after I've saved up for many years, I'll go back and stay at the marina bay sands, at least in my dreams.
