Trainwreck..............

[andy.s]

Well after a spectacularly bad start to 2011 where I fell off the wagon while visiting my father in scotland, then got very drunk on a train back home to manchester and managed in Edinburgh to leave all 3 of my bags on the train i had got off.
I then went on a 7 day bender which began on the sunday and ended the following saturday. I ignored my phone neglected to attend any appointments and would not answer my door. Fortunately I have very supportive friends and family and have undergone a home detox with librium and am in my second week of Antabuse.
2 of my bags have turned up, Which is great as one them contained a new suit for an interview. I have attended a 'smart' recovery meeting which seems to work for me and I have killed 2 birds with one stone as have stopped smoking also. I think this is going to turn out to be a good year for me folks, and hope it is for all you guys also
