Hi bizi,

I have detailed my '80s drinking problems elsewhere, briefly - daily up to 8 pints and 8 double Bell's whisky without getting drunk. Cause, circumstance, pain masking and especially mental struggles.

I had had enough in '90 after perforating an ulcer and realising it was doing me ever more great harm. I stopped Cold, and now the thought and smell repulses me.

Drink does not define you, I have read your Threads and Posts. Let your kindness or your striving for greater fitness and you running do that.

You CAN beat this, with application and time, I am certain of it.

Dave.
