What I find with non-alcohol/ultra low alcohol drinks is that it takes me roughly the same time to drink two bottles of them as it did to have four or five 'normal' drinks.Originally Posted by UNDERHILL1927
Going tee-total has undoubtedly given me a new.lease of life though. I had a bit of a look at myself a few years ago when I realised that although I am a good bloke, I can easily turn into something else when I went over the limit. Fortunately, I've never been violent to neither man, woman or child but nonetheless decided to give it up when I was on the cusp of being violent to my lady one evening.
That was a terrible night but it's bred something much better because we're closer than ever and I'm much, much healthier for it physically and mentally. Saying that, barely a day goes by that I don't think about having a few pints but then I pull myself together after weighing up what I could lose from it.
Every man who truly wants to come through an addiction will do it. My own personal rule is "I'm not going to bother having a drink today". The day quickly turns into a week, a couple of months then a couple of years.
