Well done Mark. The alcohol thing definitely goes hand in hand for a lot of people at the moment especially when starting out into their addiction. I totally get it’s a lot harder to say no after a drink!
Unfortunately for my partner it was a lot worse than that, he’s completely teetotal and has been for years, he was using at work, he doesn’t ever party, this was just him and his colleagues on the building sites who were also using all day and unable to explain to their families why their wage packet was disappearing. It’s absolutely tragic and a bit of an epidemic where we are.
Keep up the good work, though it sounds like you know your triggers and will keep going from strength to strength x
