I USED TO BE AN ALCOHOLIC And my life 20 years ago was VERY much like the UK is today...!!! Incredibly bad decisions, decisions and actions were taken only when unavoidable, everything a shambolic mess, living from one day to the next, money getting p!ssed down the drain, lots of self-inflicted injuries, lies to everyone about everything to get you through the days catastrophes to the next day...

@irminschembri1081 - OH THANK YOU. I am super honest and open about it, if my experience can help even 1 person give up its one life saved. Cos even if it does not kill you [which it likely will] its not living. Its getting from one drunken day to the next with a few hours of horrific pain in between.

@robertalford2257 - THANK YOU - it was honestly the hardest thing I have ever done in my life giving up alcohol. I lived the first 3 weeks 5 minutes at a time "Just get through the next 5 minutes without a drink". And that was 24 hours a day cos your not sleeping. So after about 4 days, the hallucinations start and they are BAD. I have since recovered from brain damage and that was EASY in comparison...

WHEN I ROB BANKS it's just part of my working life, I don't CONSCIOUSLY break the law - it's just my job as a bank robber and I do it every day; its the "culture" at my company. And I'm very pleased that this Govt is making the position clear on this.

@highdownmartin - THANK YOU and good luck and good health to you and especially your wife. Being alcohol dependent is no fun for the person OR those around them...

@petyrkowalski9887 - well in some ways he is the victim. I'm sure he did not want or choose to be an alcoholic. That said [IMO] the worst thing people can do for an alcoholic is "help" them. If you "help" them you are holding them off rock bottom and it just prolongs the agony. Far better [I stress IMO] to abandon them - say "when you decide to give up - I'm here for you - until that day 'goodbye'" No true alcoholic quits until its a very clear choice between death and life. Very well-intentioned people trying to help me get through life. bailing me out, looking after me when I was ill, they just held me above the level of absolute rock bottom for an extra 3 to 4 years. No one quits for someone else, no one quits for their career or their house or anything like that. You quit the day you truly realise "its this time - or its death"

@petyrkowalski9887 - THANK YOU - yes I had not thought about it till Phil mentioned it. It is EXACTLY like the country is being run by a bunch of alcoholics. And it may well be... A culture of drinking at work every lunchtime and into the afternoon and evening would account for a LOT of things.
