Well

Monday morning and a reasonable night's sleep last night. I feel slightly hungover despite not having a drink! It'll be interesting to see how I feel this evening after a day at work; the pinch time is normally when I walk home past my local Iceland. I've become extremely adept at finding out who stocks vodka nearby! Determined to make it home without a bottle in my hand but Homes in Sedgemoor have a canny knack of forcing me to the bottle.

Got to remember though; only I can decide to have a drink and only I can decide not to have a drink!

Laters.

Sunday ramblings

First post and to be honest I haven't a clue what to write about. Perhaps I'll start with an explanation of why I've set this blog up; It's one of a number of tools I'm trying to use to help me kick an increasing dependence on alcohol. When the cravings start, I'll start writing. Perhaps it'll help me understand how I've got to this point.

Some hard facts:

•  I've not had a sober night for over three years
• Most of my money goes on alcohol. As does a proportion of our joint account funds
• It's affecting our marriage and my job
• I hide alcohol
• I struggle to sleep and am irritable

Over the days and weeks to come I'm hoping to use this as a record of how I'm going to beat this thing and get my life and our marriage back.
