Indeed. interesting and expresses neatly how hard it is dealing with addiction.
Earlier in the article describing his week there’s a neatly done scourging of Jeremy Dimwit Hunt too.
‘Jeremy Hunt is not the sharpest economic mind on the block – being slightly brighter than his technically braindead No 2 at the Treasury, Laura Trott, is not a great selling point – and his delivery was dismal. As if even he didn’t really believe in what he was saying. Then, maybe he just didn’t understand it.
That might excuse the 80 minutes he was on his feet. Because in that time, Jezza said almost nothing that wasn’t false. There are far greater truths to be found in fiction. He began by saying this was a budget for growth. He forgot he had said that last time and that we are now in a recession. He said debt was falling. It wasn’t. He said he was reducing taxes. They were rising to their highest level since 1948. It was as though he was describing a different country to the one we all know exists.’ |  | |  |

6 years sober for me now!
The only alcohol to pass my lips was an accident at a gig where the barmaid gave me a full strength ghostship.
The hardest, most worthwhile thing I've faced. I don't mind saying I'm proud of myself as I was on the floor. |  |

I had a binge drinking issue looking back. Every weekend was getting pissed to excess that went on until I met Madge.
I think it might have been a confidence thing and that I was a jolly drunk. What people didn’t see was the crippling hangovers where I would spend most of the day in bed with anxiety palpitations where I couldn’t remember if I’d done something stupid. I suppose it was an addiction at the time.
It sounds really odd, but at the time I could quite happily go through the week with no booze and then Friday night would hit and I’d be guzzling down enough to kill a horse.
I guess being closer to fourty than thirty with kids changes your perspective. And the fact two toddlers with a hangover is nigh on impossible.
I still like the occasional drink, tonight I’ve treated myself to a four pack of Guinness over the evening, but it’s now few and far between and I feel confident enough to navigate social situations without having a skinful. Again, having kids, twins, has meant that everything difficult socially has kind of paled in comparison to the proverbial warfare of the first year of parenting.
Madges parents are both alcoholics. Can’t get past 5pm without a glass of wine or they get the shakes. I don’t want to be like that in 30 years.
If you think you have an issue with something, please reach out to someone whether that’s friends, family, GP or even here. |  | | |
