Thanks Icehouse.
Last week, 25/10/16, I started to drastically reduce my alcohol intake, and it has now been 6 days since I touched a drop. Mentally, I feel immeasurably better, and physically, the tingly, pins and needles type sensations are lessening every day. I am eating like I never have before, good foods mind, lots of fruit, veg, pasta etc; I know this is going to be a long road, but I am determined to see it through. Every day, I tell myself, " Today, I am not going to drink, just get through today". So far, it is working. I shall keep you all posted with regard to my progress. Thanks all.
