It works

21 May 2006Reviewer: Cog I was a serious alcoholic. By my mid-twenties, I drank the equivalent of 45 pints of beer a week. Even though I later went through periods of recovery (some of them quite long), by the time I reached my mid-thirties, this had risen to at least 75 pints a week, maybe more. I would have drunk even more if I could have physically handled it.
It had caused me to lose a marriage and ruined one career. It was now in serious danger of ruining another. I spent at least 3 years trying to stop (this time). Every single weekend for all that time, I would convince myself that this would be my last session. But by the following monday or tuesday, I would be back on it again, only to repeat the cycle of despair.

I finally decided that I would quit my job and live on my savings so that I would be able to concentrate on kicking this thing without any outside distractions or stresses. I kept on stopping and starting for seven more weeks, essentially becoming a out of work drunk, the opposite of what I was trying to acheive.

I thought I had tried everything. As well as all the usual types of therapies and counselling, I had bought many books, but none of them had managed to totally kill this thing.

Until now. I know for a fact, I can feel it to the depths of my core that this thing is finally dead. It has gone, there is absolutely nothing left.
And you know what? It was easy.
