Comment:	Hi, Jim, author here. I'll update the page one day with a report of my progress. My intention isn't to become dry, just to tone down the drinking to minimal levels, with the occasional revelry now and again. It's taken a couple of years so far, but I have less desire to drink now, and in keeping with that, I am drinking on average about 2 or 4 pints of 4% lager about 2 or 4 times a week. This is down from about 4 or 5 pints of 5% lager at least 4 times a week. Not to sound complacent, but I am gradually winning this one, so far. But there are good months and bad months, so it takes a couple of years to see how things are panning out long term. Thanks for asking :) - Eadon

Comment:	My husband is in the hospital detoxing. He has severe gout in his left arm, right elbow and right foot. He too, thinks that working towards drinking moderately; controlling the alcohol intake instead of it controlling you is the answer. BULLSHIT. This is his 4th detox. I love this man; BUT I want to live in peace. I will not give him an ultimatim this time. Liquor touches his lips once and he can do the rest alone. I'll be long gone. Have friends take pictures of you, record you; whatever when you are drunk. Put them up all over the house as a reminder that that is where you are headed. Drinking in moderation? Not for you pal. You feed your body any little percentage of alcohol and you will DIE. Not today.... but without doubt soon than you had expected. Relationships? Yes... you will have them for a while as MOST people can't believe anyone could be so stupid as to be overpowered by liquid. Are you a MAN?? Get a grip.

Comment:	Well done for posting those emails on beating binge drinking. I have that problem too and was hungover today looking for some way of beating this. Im not an alcoholic, but you've highlighted the mind tricks thats associated with alcohol. It is a pain, particularly when you have social events to go to such as weddings. I've given it up once or twice for the most, maybe three weeks, and felt great, But, once you fall back into the binge cycle the depression, anxiety and yes, cravings, come back. Thanks, your insights have really inspired me.

Comment:	HI I've just been reading your blogs, and I see myself, I too make a tit out of myself and going out for drinks is always a gamble, are you going to survive the night and say good night to everyone at the end, orare you going to wake up the next morning and remember a point 2 hours before the end and nothing else...Do you get scared when you seeyour mobile phone and wonder who you called/texted last night? It takes m a real effort to scroll through my phone logs,,,,, I've decided to do the Allen Carr course on drinking,, the book worked for me for the fags, so rather than victimise myself and do AA ( no offence to any AA) I thought teh method Allen Carr uses will do the trick. Thanks for sharing, its nice to see that the madness of it all is alive and well and that we normal drunks are gettign alook in..
