Your situation sounds very similar to what happened to me. I'm also preparing and have a better idea what to expect. We can do this together.

So glad you're here. This is a wonderful place with a lot of combined years of experience to draw from!

Welcome back
Do you have a strategy to combat that little voice this time RainbowDash?

Nuudawn

Hi Rainbow...yes, addiction is a mighty beast and often we need many weapons in our arsenal. I think I made an addiction of trying to understand addiction, human behaviour and a whole lotta reading on the DSM IV behaviours.

Turns out I just can't "think" my way out of it. One of the biggest things I need is support from those who understand. I find a whole lot of that right here on SR. I need people to hear me and respond. I need to hear the stories of other people whose stories are oh so similar to mine. I need reminding that I in fact have a chronic problem with alcohol; one that is best solved by abstinence. I have fallen for the "oh I can have one" or "I'm not really addicted" ...many times.

Glad you're back.

How are you doing this morning, Rainbow? Thinking of you.

hello everyone. I am gong for an alcohol assessment. I've really crossed a massive hurdle, but don't know if they'll categorise me as high risk. I need them to see how well I've done and need some tips/ advice/ insight into how it works, how it's rated.
please

thanks, rainbow xx

have been concentrating on making my mind stronger, doing more positive things... spending more time looking after people, that little voice won't be heard any more

do need advice about the assessment though, if anyone has any?

have a lovely day... sun just coming out here in London
