thanks for some fantastic responses. I genuinely appreciate you all taking the time to respond.
The thing that's personal to me is I'm scared of the person I am when I'm not drinking.
When I'm not drinking I'm a small-minded mealy-mouthed cluster**** of a man.
I like myself when I'm drinking, so I always want to get back to it.
It's all well and good to say "life is better when you don't drink". I'm honestly not sure I agree.
What do I replace my "reward" with?
How do I immediately connect with the real me?
(And not wishing to sound disrespectful to the person who said "chocolate" or watching box sets of bridget jones, I don't think you really get it.)
