**k it.... cant se the point...

maybe think about asking for some support when you wish to try to stop again ?

You've had a drink. Never mind you dont see the point!! When you're sober & ready to try again, do it for 'you' & anyone who cares deeply for you. I might hate my brother at times, but I still care.

yep . It killed my stepfather at 62 a mate at 39 and another at the tender age of 32.
Now don't get me wrong Ilove a pint but my days of excess are over . I went through a phase of several pints and 2 bottles of red every day for six months. I lost 2 stone and looked awful and then one day a perfect stranger came up to me and told me Ilooked really ill.That turned me round immediately.I often wonder why my parents never challenged me?

Over the years I've know a few people with drinking problems,some of them managed to break the hold alcohol had on them but sadly most ended up in an early grave.
