I haven't really posted here much lately, i think it's because being old skool i cannot get used to the new format, but thought i'd check in.
I posted long and hard here the first half of last year about my alcoholism and attending AA, so thought i'd give a short update for anyone who remembers and gave me a lot of advice, which i am grateful for.
My last drink was May 30th, so i am now 8 months sober. I hardly ever crave or even want a drink anymore, if i do it's when i think that maybe i can handle one or two on a night out or something. But it soon goes, when my head kicks into gear and realise that i can't.
I used the AA alot in the early stages. I tend to do more reading now to keep my mind active on my alcoholism, i haven't given up on AA but have cut down drastically the amount of meetings i attend. I also use www.soberrecovery.com which is a massive help.
So thought i'd give an update, degree is going well and my scuba diving, two things i have taken up in sobriety.
