I think I ready to quit drinking.I been sober for two weeks now. I used whiskey and drugs to help me write songs.I dont know if I will ever write another song.Just before I got sick I wrote several songs and posted them at http://www.myspace.com/01976 and at http://www.soundsugar.net/01976. I probaly will be going through changes now.Wish me luck. 01976 Phil ID: 827678 ·  |

Day 16 and Im still sober.There is no turning back now.Thank you guys for your support.Its lonely world and your encouragement means a lot to me S' not so lonely here.......... There are dozens of folks you can PM if you need a ray of sunshine in a dark moment....... Hope you do not lose your way........ Alcohol is a hard master to top......... I know all the ins and outs.......the ups and downs.......the mind games, the lies, and the truth. Just because I am not winning my own fights with it, doesn't mean I don't know the score...... I lost a brother to it, lost loves to it, lost a lotta life to it. If you are strong enough to pull up, you are a better man than I, my friend...... Do not look back until you are strong enough.....and when you do, it will still scare the ***t outta you when you remember what you used to do.........

Way to go Dragonfly. When I stopped cold in Oct 1983, it was extremely difficult as many of my family enjoyed a drink or two when the family had got together on occasions like Xmas. I throughly loved my rum & black, gin & tonic & vodka & orange, as well as numerous pints of lager. Now the only time that I have a drink is when my wife & I return from these occasions & all I have is a glass or two of sherry, & over the years, I have never exceeded 2. I used to drink a litr of rum & a litre of gin every day while I was working on the trains back in the 70's, & sometimes more than that. I only began to notice a year or two after I left the job, that my migranes became irregular & that my drinking habits began to change. It was only then that my friends I had before my time on the trains, began to return & on many occasions when we had events to attend, they always ensured that I only drank sherry & never more than 2 glasses throughout the whole event. Many of them remain in contact to this day & I genuinely appreciate their friendship. Back then there were no pc's, & from what I have seen on several forums, there are many who have gone through similar themselves and freely give their time to help others. Hold your head high & continue to do so in the knowledge that you've succeeded for over 2 weeks & say to yourself, i'm going to make it a month, then 3, then 6, then 12 - you will notice the difference in your health & personality & the change will become very noticable by those around you.
