unless i go with a mate i can have 1 or two ,anymore and i wouldnt be there to enjoy a mates company .
just dont drink for a while and find a hobby/ hobby club instead , and you'll find you seek different kinds of fun .

The 3 years of drinking was to deal with PTSD from an overseas army deployment.
I think I am doing quite well.
It takes 3 weeks to adjust to any new routine.
Playing pool sober was hard, but I am getting it sorted out now, as tonight will be the start of the 3rd week sober.

I have a month alcohol free planned,who knows from there.
