It's now eight months since I joined this group and at that time I was in self destruct mode. Drinking about three litres of vodka and two or three bottles of wine per week. I have written on here several times about trying to moderate my drinking and to become a normal social drinker with varying amounts of success.
For around two months now I have been consuming approximately 20 units ( half litre) per week, which although the medics would say that it is still too much I am pleased with myself . No massive hangovers, no deep depressions and just generally feeling a lot better.
Strangely enough I don't seem to get that ,I MUST HAVE A DRINK feeling nearly so bad now.
So maybe like my old school reports said, I can do better.
Thanks to everyone here for your understanding, advice and support. I hope that you all have a great Christmas and that the temptations and challenges are not too much for you.
Merry Christmas.
