Ok i've heard that admitting the problem is a good way towards solving it, i actually don't believe i have one but maybe that is part of the initial problem?
Right this started badly because i sort of confused myself, i didn't think i actually had a problem until i said that i might have, this makes no sense to me yet oddly seems legible?
{deep breath}
I've been toying with an idea for a few weeks, i've actually just realised it's been weeks. i made the decision a couple of days ago and though i really have no proper reasoning behind it, i think it's "about time".

OK you are this far down the page and still you don't know what's going on so i'll lay the challenge? more an aim, a goal if you will.
I have set myself the (challenge seems wrong but i'll stick with it) challenge of no alcohol in October at all.
My typical week is Tuesdays and Thursdays i play darts for a local pub, Fridays , Saturdays and Sundays i go to the pub.
I am drunk on all those occasions, i see little point in drinking if i'm not getting pissed at the end of the night.
Why have a couple? it makes no sense to me.
I live alone, have done for 5 years, i LOVE my life but i think it's wrong, a lingering guilt i think.
So here it is in black and white, for all to see (there is reasoning behind the public factor), i'm not drinking for the whole of October.

I have said to people in the past that the reason i gave up live poker was because i was making money online, this is true but not the actual reason, the real reason is that i like a drink or three whilst playing and at the time i had several mates that would drive me to the casiino and take me home, i could drink what i like.
One by one they stopped going and i wouldn't go because i like to drink when i play live.
As i read this back i see a different person to the one i thought i was, how odd.
Anyway this is starting to resemble a mantis or totalise post in so i'll make the decision to bore you no more.

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life.

Of course not.

Best of luck to you mate.

About the drinking without getting pissed..the point is that you do that because you like the taste of what you are drinking...Which, admittedly, is justabout impossible with what the British call beer and lager.

I know we all joke about drink -- sometimes its time to take stock and take a break -- good luck in this
