Iv'e Received A Fare Bit Of Flack On Ab For My Alcohol Addiction

[nailedit]

But also much support(For which I'm grateful)

Alcohol and drug services havn't been great.Been messed about multiple times.Was supposed to have had my name down for a detox a few months ago but it was never sent.I've persevered though and finally I'm down for a detox.

As a child, I was brought up in working mens clubs in the 70's when nobody batted an eyelid to kids drinking alcohol.

I was more or less dependent by the age of 20,

Since my time on AB I've been called allsorts for been honest about my addiction (like a few other ABers)

If you met me (as did Tilly a few years back) you would never had me down as an addict.(or even as an alcoholic)

Some on here have me down as permantely pickled. Also not true.

I once had a solicitor who stank of booze at 9:30 in the morning. He was defending me on a drinking charge!! Blind leading the blind, you couldnt make it up.

But he was middle class and I was a council estate kid. I got found guilty obviously.

 

I'm trying to get better...

Stop giving me flack.

You can choose not to buy it, obviously you can't go cold turkey but you can reduce your intake yourself.

take up something to keep you hands and mind busy, pop to the charity shop and get some wool and knitting needles, knit squares so you can make a blanket for your granddaughter

//obviously you can't go cold turkey but you can reduce your intake yourself//

Each and evrytime that I've tried to reduce my alcohol intake

I have consummed more,

Ive tried again and again to reduce.

Its an all or nothing thing

On all the years that I've been on AB, Ive never hidden the fact that I have an alcohol addiction (Have I?)
