I very rarely drank. When I split from the ex, I started drinking most days (one drink, but still a massive increase from pretty much never drinking)
I’m back to rarely drinking now. |

Nothing really.
I had a few drinks last week and that was just to make myself feel better but it didn't work. I think that was my first drink in a year or so.
My mum was an alcoholic. I believe alcohol played a big part in my brother taking his own life.
I'm thinking of completely giving up with booze. I don't enjoy it, and I've seen too much damage. |

The honest answer is when I feel like I want a drink. But then I’m always honest, but don’t feel the need to expand on it all the time.

Back on the wagon again now, few bottles of beer a couple of times a week
Disrespectful to genuine recovering people"
No it's not. Every person is responsible for their own body. Being a recovering or recovered alcoholic doesn't mean you have to quit alcohol altogether.

Can’t really answer that. I’ll go a couple of months without a drink if I don’t go out. If I go out 3 times in a week then I’ll have a drink. On holiday I’ll have a drink every night. I’ve never really put much thought into it. If I want one I’ll have one but there’s no routine to it. |

That's interesting. Are you able to drink alcohol in moderation, even though you've had problems with addiction in the past?
It's only been a couple of months since I allowed myself a drink again. There's been the odd blip along the way but, in general I'm managing to balance it yeah "
I darnt yet, allow myself to have a drink I mean. Been nearly 28 months.
I've got a lot on emotionally so not be a good idea to try yet ,
I fear if I start I wont stop , Again lol |

Good on you . I know some people who just can't trust themselves to drink any alcohol, and some who do but put in a lot of effort to keep it under control. |

I think alcoholism is ongoing no matter how much in control you are the fact that your even thinking about controlling it means theres an issue.
It's fantastic being in recovery but il admit I'm an addict and addicts will always be tempted by addictions |

That was my fear. You hear all the time in AA about it only ever getting worse, not better. But, equally, if I always had the "what if" I'd never fully commit to the programme. I know I've always got a seat at the table if need be and still have regular contact and in group chat etc, which helps. It's a good reminder of where I was. Equally, I talked it all through with my teenage daughter (who knew I was attending) and explained where my head was at, and she agreed it was OK... so long as I behaved myself haha.
28 months is a huge achievement though, honestly, be proud of yourself |

Maybe 1 night in the week at the local or in the kitchen, usually a Saturday and Sunday too depending on work. Sometimes more in the summer if we're out in the garden.. |

One or two days, usually a friday and Saturday. I will have a couple of bottles of beer, or a few shorts on either or both of those days.
Unless meeting up with friends. |

Often none.
Neither of us are big drinkers. I probably have 2-4 a month on average and Cal much less.
