DJ, again, I didn't mean diagnosed or undiagnosed alcoholics.
I have no idea what the best thing to do is for a recovering alcoholic. "Stay clear of a pub" was meant as a makeshift example of "Do what you have to do" ... sorry if this came across wrong.
My point was this:
Sometimes people identify an issue in their life and decide to elevate it to a great new years resolution or whatever, a lot of talk about it and very little action in the end.
All I am saying is that it might be better to take little steps towards your goal rather than building up a big one and fail for it's magnitude.
Also, if one REALLY has a problem with something, I'd say "get help first" before you try and go without it just like a that. Had to watch someone very dear to me trying to just stop taking her Xanax, and it's massively trashed her self confidence at the time. Made her convinced she was never going to stop it.
This is especially true if you're physically dependant on alcohol, as this is about the only withdrawal that can physically kill you.
Surely this is counter productive?
