    About Me

    Im an alcho attending AA. 7 months sober.It's pretty well the only reason I'm sober now, AA. I've been trying seriously now for 4 years to stop drinking, relapsed quite a few times, had 10 months up at one stage on my own. That was my problem, 'on my own'. No support whatsoever, still an ego driven life. Went to AA at 19, new I was an alcho before that, went out and tried to be a normal drinker, back at 29, still not enough damage done in my life. Lost the plot completely at 37. The hate in me spewed on the world and I was stuck, the next bottom was a timber box. Rehabed 4 times, long term rehab which I kept quiting. Campral 6 years ago. Only one person in the world that was going to make me quit and he's accepted that now, finally!

    Interests

    Fishing, birds, stars, cooking, woodwork, ballards, puzzles, making and fixing things, living.
