Hello everyone. I'm now on Day 50. I've been sent home from hospital for a week pending discharge next Tuesday.
I went to see an alcohol councelor at my local service yesterday. I explained that I was leaving hospital and didn't want to drink again. To my surprise her view was that the occasional beer would not be harmful and that if I drank I should forgive myself, stop drinking and try again, avoiding the guilt / remorse cycle that leads me to get drunk. To be honest I was hoping for tips on retaining my abstenance.
Long story short, I went to the supermarket this afternoon to restock the fridge and bought groceries and one beer. I've not had it yet...
Help! Forwards.
