Destroyed my marriage, a lot of which had to do with using and abusing alcohol. I've pissed the bed, pissed on the floor, puked in my sleep, puked all over the place, always the last one to leave, up for anything, etc. It's an awful drug. I did down right foul and unacceptable things over the years, many times. And I had the nerve to tell her that I wasn't an alcoholic! Pure denial. Marriage is essentially over, probably a 5% chance of repairing it. Starting all over again at 40 (been more or less sober the last 3 years). Best of luck everyone. It's a daily battle.

Great topic, Bryn and it is truly shocking how low alcoholic standards can get. It can get really dark. And once you are in a state where you look awful, your flat is in a shocking condition, and everything else is crumbling too, guess what becomes your “friend” again, to make your situation feel more palatable? Alcohol is a truly evil drug and I will not look back! I am coming up one month sober and feel better than I have in ten years. No looking back, mate!

You look so healthy and peaceful! 😊 I'm celebrating two years sober this week after spending ten years drinking two bottles of wine a day. Life is beautiful <3

Oh there’s more to life than just the very thought that you need to drink to enjoy oneself. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with staying in or in my case having a few frames of pool with me pub team and able to have a few

So right Bryn, my trouble was totally losing my appetite. I mean like even the thought of food made me want to gip. Then theres the dry boak in the morning, no not just in the morning, at any time of day actually. <br>All of those things you mentioned are spot on, ive done every one of them and paid the same price. <br>Enjoy your channel mate 👍.
