anyone thinking about picking up should
read todays uk *Metro* (transport paper)
Its reporting on Britains youngest ever person to suffer from Liver failure from alcoholism, shes just 14 years of age.
Today I am very grateful for my 18 days of sobriety.

Thanks for the link RK .

Having read the story now, it has a better ending than I had imagined. Still a shame though.
