Good evening Jackie, tips, coco-nutty and anybody else who's around,

so, you must be into year three by now Jackie? What happened on 7/7/09 to make you decide the time had come to stop drinking? Don't answer that if it's private information - I wouldn't want to poke my nose in.

No problem,Reccy.

It was actually the 5th July that was me rock bottom but I needed a medically assisted detox and couldn't get an appointment until the 7/7/09 to see one of the senior doctors with my practice.

Long story as short as I can.

Relapsed about the March 09, believe it or not involving dentists and lots of pain. The drinking got back to daily. Around about the middle of June I started back drinking during the day. Then it Mr JC's 50th and the son and heir's 21st and before I knew it I was back to the good old 24 hour................drink,drink, pass out............drink drink, pass out cycle.

Then Mr JC went away for a weekend with the boys and I found myself at the corner shop a 6.50am on Sunday morning asking for a half bottle of vodka. The look on the bloke's face will haunt me forever. Drank again all Sunday and was suicidal by the time Mr JC came in , and I knew I was beaten.

He knew he had to keep me topped up for fear of seizure, so I just drank enough on the 6th to get me through then I went to see Dr :h. He gave me a bucket load of valium and a detox plan for a week, told me to use MWO rather than lurk around so I made me first post 8th July after I'd been AF for a whole 24 hours.

And the rest as they say is Geography.

A lot of that sounds familiar Jackie. I have about half a dozen different Co-Op stores I go to at different times of the day to get served by different checkout people in order to avoid "the look on the bloke's face". Don't always succeed though! :upset:

I also rotated my visits between at least 5 bottle stores (as we call them in SA)

I was greeted by name at all of them...

Oh dog... have you ever tried handing over cash while trying to stop your hands from shaking too obviously?

Sign a credit card slip legibly?

Fuck it... one must never forget. Else you'll end up there again.
