    An older drunk back on day one. Who's with me?

    Going for 30 day's and beyond, and taking back my life again!

    I am a hardcore drinker. 24/7. If i can do this, believe me, so can you.

    Blame no-one, blame nothing. Do something.

    Do or do not.

    Easy? NO! Simple? YES!

    (P.S. This part of my journey is not so much a return from hell, as it was for me in October 2008. This is a return from a flirt with moderate drinking these last few months, which i've re-discovered is not what i want to do (Brickhead). I much prefer the totally sober life. It is still a climb back though, as i could see my drinking, and THINKING beginning to return to old destructive levels. Am using the same AF principles and attitude to climb back up, so some thoughts expressed here may be of benefit to folk starting out).

    You ok Guitarista? I read your post before you edited it and just wanted to let you know you are an awesome person. Whatever happened is over and today is a new day. You are one of my heros here. I cant even put into words how much you have helped me and so many others here. I wish i could say some magic words to fix everything but i dont have that kind of power. I am here, as i am positive all of the members and lurkers are, if you need anything. You take care, we need you full strength here!

      Hey Red!

      Thanks for your beautiful post. Don't worry. I'm okay, and all cool here. No relapse or slip, just a concious crack at moderating the last few months. And i had unfinished business with booze that i had to resolve and re- explore. And glad i went there. Nice buzz for an hour or 2, but what then? I don't want 2/3 drinks, i want to keep drinking when i get home. 1 or 2 drinks is crap, give me the bottle! This is the equation i have weighed up. So, i have a choice. No choice re my addiction, but a choice in how i tackle it. For me, after 2.5 yrs of sobriety of late, i've chosen the alcohol free path, and i thought it might be of benefit to share my recent experiences here.

      How are you going?

      All contributions welcome.

        Aw Mr G, how can we help? You know your words of late motivated me to pour out one glass of wine out of my bottle giving thanks BEFORE I started to drink it. I've thought about it before but felt it was wasteful. Well, if that extra glass is not serving me, then f*ck the expense. There are other costs to consider. Anyways, you know my goals and I admire anyone who determines they cannot drink and gets on with it. I know you will do this. You have so much to offer and accomplish! Thank you for being my friend.:l
