Don't waste another day, do it now mate. Good luck.I had 3 Bombardiers, and a Chimay last night. I've spend every waking moment today with "the fear". I don't think it's long before I give it up.

I don't, but it doesn't take away from the fact that I felt shit after relatively little to drink. I've cut down a lot and January and October were not a problem, and weekends go by easily enough without a drink at all.Ask yourself the questions contained in Step 1:
“We admitted we were powerless over alcohol, that our lives had become unmanageable.”

You’re putting actual poison in your body and it does horrible things to you.
It’s as simple as that. Doesn’t matter if it’s 40 year old Scotch or Buckfast, the shit that’s in it is not good for you and makes you ill.
That’s why you feel like shit.
Unfortunately that poison happens to be highly addictive and has become so socially acceptable and mainstream that you’re made to feel like a weirdo for not putting it inside you.
Imagine if we had adverts for heroin on telly
Took me a very long time to work that out and get it into my head. The hangover was always because I didn’t drink enough water before bed or because that last pint came out of a dodgy barrel.
Next time you reach for a beer don’t think of the nice warm drunk feeling you’re gonna get, think of the fear, liver failure and the raging hangover it will cause.
Eventually you can train yourself to be physically disgusted by alcohol. Which is exactly how you should feel about it.
Exactly. Whenever I might feel like a little trip down Drinky Memory Lane, it's not long before the happy memories also have a vivid image of me puking into a basin the next morning because I was still so mindless pissed from the night before, of my skin feeling greasy sweaty and jaundiced looking in the mirror. I remember, though I wince, of my bedsheets being soaked in sweat, being surprised that I couldn't sign a cheque because my ******* hands were shaking, of people being worried for me because it was becoming obvious how bad I was getting, and the fear for my very soul that I was wiping myself out.You’re putting actual poison in your body and it does horrible things to you.

It’s entirely normal for me after a while sober not to drink. Can’t believe what used to be normal was a fridge in the utility room just for beer, wine, & a freezer compartment for vodka & ice cubes!It feels strange in a way not going to the fridge for a bottle of beer after work, during the evening relaxing or at the weekend but on the other hand I don't feel like I'm missing anything.
That's why I enjoy trying all the alcohol free beers (note to self: must update wiki page) because you can go to the fridge and grab one after work.It feels strange in a way not going to the fridge for a bottle of beer after work, during the evening relaxing or at the weekend but on the other hand I don't feel like I'm missing anything.
I agree with you completely but as I said I just don't fancy either. There are some fantastic alcohol free beers out there though.That's why I enjoy trying all the alcohol free beers (note to self: must update wiki page) because you can go to the fridge and grab one after work.
I don't mind a bleifrei beer but I'm still waiting for a really interesting Coke Zero number. Part of me is annoyed at paying for something that isn't fermented too.I agree with you completely but as I said I just don't fancy either. There are some fantastic alcohol free beers out there though.
Any idea what they use to make it taste dry?Had a glass of Natureo de-alcoholised white wine with dinner last night.
I never used to drink full fat white wine, but I had a bottle of this and thought I’d give it a go. All the AF red wines I’ve tried so far have been utterly rank.
Actually not bad at all. With a nice piece of fish, on a sunny spring evening it really hit the spot.
White spirit.Any idea what they use to make it taste dry?

Lovely....White spirit.
They do an alcohol free retsina as well using turps.
