you see, i haven't found life at all monotonous. shit man, i feel like i've just started my life. i feel mentally stronger and physically stronger. the positive half full thing is almost constantly in play now and i'm relishing taking more work on board and responding to pressure to get jobs done and done on time.

i've stepped away from work at weekends and really enjoy my kids and the missus,. i spend so much time with them . shit, we all bicker at times and sometimes i've got to be dad but i love talking with my nippers. i'm building louis bike tomorrow with him and cam after i've taken them to football. this shit is great, it's great because i've now got real time to do it as opposed to drunk time half doing it before losing interest and just getting pissed out of my box.

it's horses for courses man but the reality is that there aren't as many people in control of their drink habit as there are people who think they're in control of their drink habit

Indeed. Your circumstances sound very different from mine - I have no children and a girlfriend who drinks/smokes as much weed as I do, so I don't feel like I'm shirking my responsibilities or missing out on anything I would otherwise be able/willing to do if I didn't drink.

Plus, it has to be said, most relationships I've had might never have got off the ground if it wasn't for the lowering of inhibitions provided by moderate social drinking. Being inclined towards shyness / introversion, it makes me a lot more relaxed around people (pareticularly if I don't know them that well). If, on the other hand, you actually rely on alcohol to get you threough each day, then you DO have a problem, but I can go three or four days without drinking and not miss it at all, so I don't think I'm at that stage. Yet...
