I know this may go with the territory regards alcohol addiction.
I am not violent, I know alcohol abuse leads to aggression and violence, we see it every Friday and Saturday night.

I'm trying to cut down, but failing miserably as a consequence of a litany of excuses, the latest being I have feelings of aggression and need a drink to calm myself down. I felt it when I was on steriods last year.

I know what I am going through, I know what I should be doing.

I just bring it here, because I can't see anyone else has so overtly and I think it should be recognised with a thread, for others to share their experiences and perhaps take something from.
