No good getting terse Stewy. Everyone here is trying to help - we;re not the enemy.
Due to continued pressure to admit myself to impatient rehab I think it's best for me to perhaps come off the forum and seek alternative support.
Bottom line - don't want to go to rehab?
Stop drinking.
If you can't keep yourself sober? you're going to have to call in support and, very probably, do things you don't want to do.
I'll get back in touch when I've sorted things out
what if you don't sort things out - what then?
In situations like this and the line of work I am in unfortunately there is still a large stigma attached to people having problems with alcohol.
If you keep drinking it will impact upon your work. Stigma or not, it will be revealed - unless you take action now.
Running away from SR is exactly the opposite of action.
I quit for 2.5 years so I'm capable of stopping and being consistent
You've questioned the quality of this sober period before - your own observation not mine,
Add the progressive nature of alcoholism into the mix and it's clear to me, if not to you, that you're going to have to do something different this time Stewy
I'd take the energy you spend on declaring you're not going to rehab and look instead at what you are prepared to do.
