You wish I was.

And you’re not?? how’s the camping goin? Have you painted those rusty metal bars yet??

How awful.

Not yet mate. i may do if I relapse again though. but I think I can do it on my own

Go troll elsewhere will you.

You started it asking why I have disabled my messages! why do you want to know and what the hell has it got to do with you???

What are you talking about?

Because I have received some rather threatening messages before and I felt a bit unsafe. Not that I have to explain myself to anyone. Do I?

What do you mean an intervention?

Ok. Thanks for that then.

ive tried zero beers before, had mixed results with them. infact the first time I tried them I ended up getting a full abv beer by accident as well.

little bit harsh, but you are entitled to your opinion I suppose.

i'd be back on the booze within an hour ????

according to chatgpt, 2 standard glasses of red wine per day would be considered moderate drinking for a male. They also said it could have benefits. It's within the safe range of alcohol consumption, apparently.

I would love nothing more than to go to my favorite cafe, order some light breakfast and sit there till the sun goes down drinking my favorite lager. but thats how it starts, you promise yourself just a couple of beers. then you meet some tourists here on a stag do/birthday whatever and they end up buying you shots. then you order a whiskey next thing you know you are asking the nearest taxi driver about girls at the soapy, how much etc.. then the wife calls asking if everything is all right, she can hear you slurring your words, she knows that you are drunk. you scope out the nearest kebab shop, 2 beef to go please. you try and flag down a cab, nobody will go on the meter. you pay the tourist price. then you get home and start a fight because you are drunk again. you ask her whats wrong with her. she says she hates it when you're drunk. you repeatedly tell her that you are not, but she can see it in your eyes. you end up sleeping in separate beds, she threatens you with divorce. then you wake up the morning after with a headful of regret, tired, hungover, no good to anyone... you wonder what this bruise is on your leg. your mouth is dry, need water but there is none in the fridge. time to drive to 7, still drunk from the night before. Helmet definitely not a priority. you waste the day in bed watching netflix, eating crap. mcdonalds gets a call, as they always do. you answer the door in your underwear, too embarrassed to look the delivery guy in the eye, you take your meal, tip him 20 baht. you cant bear to look at yourself in the mirror, you havent shaved for days. you stand on the scales, 2 kg up since yesterday. you throw up, the mcdonalds hasnt gone down well. you take a cold shower but even that isnt enough to wake you from your pathetic slumber. back to bed you go, a full day wasted now. you sit on the edge of your bed and you ask yourself, was it really worth it?

perhaps this side effect is unique to me? they say that side effects can vary from person to person. day 3 no alcohol. lets do this!

where would you relocate? wherever the heck I want! I can live pretty much anywhere.

Some Dr you are, Jack……

Not sure to be honest.

The hell you on about.

And I may just do that! I love a cold fruit juice. but if I can get into a routine of 2 glasses of red when I feel like a drink then that could also be an option. but for now I am completely abstaining.

How so?

You may be right. but I hope that you aren’t. what I may do going forward after a month of detox is limiting myself to 2 glasses of red wine a night. thats what is classed as moderate drinking for men and could actually be beneficial health wise as it gets the blood flowing. But that’s for later. i must completely detox first and get a grip of my addiction before I can decide how to proceed.

Thanks to everyone for your kind words and support. I’m really giving it a go this time and so let’s see how it goes!

Cbd doesn’t get you stoned.
