You’ve still got the humour, Phil 👍

What was up with Campril? I tried it and doubt it made any difference. The placebo effect may have worked, though, as I gave up for good after taking it for a few weeks.

What helped me most was the overall lifestyle change. I started getting fit and having some self-esteem. Good things followed from that. I had the confidence to join a couple of sports clubs. While I was doing those things, I wasn’t drinking or thinking about it.

You’ve reached the lightbulb moment (hopefully) where you know you have to stop 100%. Have you been able to stop 100% for weeks or months? A prolonged period might be what you need for those urges to subside that little bit.
