I have not drank since Dec 2015, thanks to the great help here, I am proud to not drank and I will never drink again. I found that I needed to find things to do because of the boredom of not drinking, I am now doing advanced motorbike training and a new bunch of friends, also joined a local target shooting club, again a new bunch of friends. My life has changed a lot for the better and I am enjoying it. I meet up with my old drinking friends and it is strange to see them in a drunken state, not good. A lot of friends and family are proud of what I have achieved, it was/is not easy but is well worth the effort.
