Years ago, can't remember when exactly I'd had 4 months off the drink I was on antabuse, a mate was having a party at one of my old bars (I'd just come back to the country after 3.5 years, 2.5 months out of rehab) I stopped taking with the intention off having a couple of red bull_ vodkas.
This turned into champagne, lager and cocaine binge.
I drank the next morning and lost another 15 years, all from one bad decision! I lost a lot in them years and gained little. I still have my other demons but alcohol has always created the most damage as I never really sobered up, vodka before work etc.
So the last 3 years without alcohol I've accomplished a lot, imagine what I could of done with 18, it's nearly enough to make ya drink to forget about it!
