I'll spot a few drowning drunks, for sure. Oh, woe.
Sobriety is better than anything you can imagine Ben and hope you remain with us, your own imaginings realised at last.
Happy Christmas, Ben.
Oh that sounds nice Steely, and what a lovely place too! I've got friends who live in Sydney not too far away from there. I'm hoping to go and visit once I have sorted out my problems.
H'mm, I tried last week to go dry. I had nothing to drink on Monday and Tuesday but my mood swings got the better of me and there have been too many festivities going. Alcohol is the devil on my shoulder at the moment.
Actually reading that back, I'm clearly looking for excuses not to quit aren't I?
Also, while I think of it, I've seen from you sig that you manged to kick valium as well. I had problems with that too and I flushed the last of what I had down the toilet a month ago. I was doing 20-30mg 3 times a week.
Merry Xmas too mate :o)
