Why is that?

I had a choice, drink myself to death or stop entirely

although I did jump out of a moving taxi and land in a puddle of mud on a building site before I made the decision to maybe curtail my drinking a little

oh yeah, and the waking up in an ambulance with alcoholic poisoning, that was a major contributory factor

once you've had a paramedic sit on your chest to stop you convulsing and ripped all the muscles in your back, you start to wonder if vodka and red bull is really the drink for you

Do you think if there was minimum pricing in it would have effected your drinking?

no, because I could afford it
and hardened alcoholics will go without food to have a drink

well he won't stop unless he wants to
problem with booze it's it's socially acceptable, cheap and in the short term, quite effective in anaesthatising depression

He really, really doesn't want to and would have such a hole in his life if he did it might actually be worse.

alcoholics are the most selfish addicts
they see it wrecking their lives and the lives of their families and they just get wankered again until the problem goes away
(King Zog of Albania lives in Kensington, Wed 13 Mar 2013, 9:52, Reply)

But the problem DOES go away, right?

You have to drink an awful lot before it does.
But yeah, I'm sure it will eventually.

someone gave me a bottle of wine a couple of weeks ago
it was a thank you present so I accepted it to avoid looking like an ungrateful cunt

then I poured it down the sink

the desire to get drunk is still there, I just have the willpower not to
