Just wondering how your going mate hopefully your still on the wagon

[Steve Axford]

Good luck Dave. Alcohol is a tough one to quit, but the rewards are great.

[Duane Pipe]

Thanks Steve, Well I can proudly say that I have had 5 sober days in the last fortnight and now start at 5pm instead of 2

It takes a big man to apologise and an even bigger man to admit he is an alcoholic. Please keep coming back...sometimes it's easier to talk about these things with people you don't know in real life.

Thanks Shelly. The only family member that I talk to is my cousin and best MATE..

Is a person a alcoholic if he/she has a wine or a scotch with dinner every night and has done so for many years "I wonder how many of you fall into that category"..
When I was on P-plates (30years ago) I would drink a bottle of johnny red on afternoon shift I was young and in party mode like most teens these days Although I don't consume a lot now, 6 cans on average but its still a long term habit.

Good on you for trying to do something about it. For me it's all about looking after your health.

I have spent the last 12 months nursing my terminally ill sister with cancer, she lost her fight in October, and i can tell you she
was loved and is missed every day.

you see Dave, there are always people that suffer when you go , so my aim in life is to look after my health and try to be around for my loved ones for as long as i can.

I'm sure your loved ones would be the same without you, do it for them as well as yourself, good luck with it Dave.

Duane, don't be a douche. You're hilarious!

I haven't been around here much lately (because I can't view this at work, even though I've spent all day on it today!) and even through my limited viewings of the forum over the last 6 months, I have noticed a lack of your activity. Or so it seemed so anyway.

So yeah, just come back haha.. People are too soft these days, we need more "truthful" and/or random people around

[Greeny]

All the best Dave ... like all of the above I have only enjoyed the contribution you have made to the forum & have found you to be a champion bloke at all times ....
