I wish folk would stop telling him he must want to stop . Of course he does, but that's the whole thing about an addiction, you want to but can't.

stick with it me old china, you want to do it, so that's half the battle. Read this:

it's by Keith Chegwin and he was like you, he tried and failed many times but in the end he got there. I really enjoyed the read and I bought it after I saw a TV doc on him after he himself broke down on a breakfast show when he was just hammered at 7 in the morning. I hope it will inspire you.

you can get it for £1.75, if I knew where to send it I'd buy it and send it.

I go to a social club on Friday night and there is a guy there who drinks orange tango that's it, he's an alcoholic, sober for over 20 years but still an alcoholic. He's stronger that I would be, no way I could go to a drinking establishment if I wanted to get sober. He has 2 businesses and wonderful house, wife and daughter, he's said to me several times that when he was drinking he never dreamed he'd have those he was just waiting to die. He hasn't told me how he dug himself out of it yet.
