					<description><![CDATA[[&#8230;] Flirting with sobriety would have carried on indefinitely, but a health crisis meant I was encouraged to take the teetotal path which I am now firmly on. Since June 2018, I have been almost completely sober. I can’t say this has been easy. Erasing decades of ingrained behaviour takes some doing and I think I will always be a drinker at heart, just one who chooses, most of the time, not to drink – and I do appreciate that not everyone is able to make that choice.

Thanks Joey - it&#039;s a destructive addiction that so many people struggle with, and by talking openly we hope that more people will feel able to open up. Happy Christmas :o)]]></description>

Glad to read your story. Thanks for sharing this. It will encourage a lot of people out there to fight out their battle with addiction.]]></description>
