Hey guys thanks for the new thread and remembering me! Im 4 days today.
I've got that shit early days sleep thing going on but it will be worth it long term.
@Bizzywater well done, that's brilliant! Can you recommend me any podcasts? I think I saw somewhere Matt Willis of busted fame is making a documentary on his addictions, I think that will be interesting.
@teaandtoastwithmarmite that's a good idea! I started putting about £20 across each time I didn't go to the pub or shop last time, but spent it all on junk food and quit lit 😂
A few weeks ago I got scared. I was out with DH for dinner and we were sat at the bar and a man in outdoor work clothes came in and sat next to us. He was shaking like a leaf and I asked him if he was ok, and he nodded at the bar and said he would be after the first couple of "those". It was a pint of cider with a straw in it because he couldn't physically hold the glass until he'd had enough to stop the shakes. I keep thinking about him. He was probably in his fifties and had a chat with me about what that level of alcoholism is like. He said he doesn't even get drunk anymore, he just gets ill if he doesn't have a certain amount of alcohol. I can't imagine being so poorly and doing such phsyical work. Hope the man can find help.
