Well my deserved ban has ended and I can confirm I haven't had a drink for just over a fortnight.

Feel better than I have in a long time and I'm committed to staying sober.

I * everything up when I drink heavily so I've decided enough is enough both for my physical and mental health.

Have a great day all.

Good on you, Merc. We all make mistakes in life. It's what we learn from those mistakes that's important. And it sounds like you've made the first step in any road to reform; you've admitted that you have a problem!

Congrats on the two weeks sober. Credit to you. I've never been there myself, but I reckon quitting the grog would have to be one of the hardest things someone could do. Alcoholism is such an insidious disease.

Keep up the good work mate, and remember to reach out to those around you, including on here, when the road gets tough and you think about getting back on the grog again. I'm sure I won't be the only one to offer support for your journey.
