Good for you, Herb. For some, it becomes a huge problem, and the best thing they can do is go cold turkey.
I wasn't joking about the 'the faces around me at the AA meeting' - never had I seen such a bunch of corrupt, degenerate, foul-looking, gargoyles all together in the one place in my entire life.
I never went back again. I even skipped the tea-and-bikkies at the end of the group hug. Jesus.
Yes - cold turkey with a bucket by my bed did it for me. Lots of toxins in my blood stream needed flushing out.
I have to admit one thing though - my drinking days were the best years of my life, but at some time you've got to stop the bus and get off.
Six years later I stopped smoking ...
Eight years later I stopped sex ...
10 years later I stopped gambling ...
12 years later I stopped pretending to be nice to people ...
14 years later I gave up being a bigot, and a homophobic, Islamophobic, racist misogynist.
My New Years Resolution will be to stop lying ...
