Blackground Events
Around Xmas 2007 I had got used to drinking alcohol more than usual. Until then I had never drank alone, not in pubs since I was 20 and only occasionally with a friend or two or three. I'm not one for big parties.
Follow up:
However last year I found port, Madeira and organic spirits. Until then I had drunk mostly organic red and white wines, some organic ciders, mostly Weston's, from Herefordshire and a few beers.
The issue that I couldn't avoid was drinking a little from an open bottle of spirit or port around the Xmas time.
I wasn't very happy with myself for doing it, but it helped me relax, and that is where a problem may have developed.
I used the excuse that my tummy was a bit uncomfortable, maybe stuffed, so for a few weeks over Xmas I had a small drink on many occasions.
Where's the real problem I'm asking myself, but then I wondered if my discomfort would be a necessary continuance so that I could carry on drinking. Hmm a slippery slope I could feel there.
So on to part 2.
