Rich - I am very lucky in that I dont need booze to be sociable, relax, or escape reality. I dont need drugs either. Give me some tunes, some bball, and some cars and I am good to go.

I did 14 weeks without, didnt bother me at all.

Was in bali for a week, drunk fuckloads there. Wont drink till my bday party in 6 weeks. Then I will be off it again for about 6 weeks before stereosonic.

Unfortunately I have been through this before. I lost 42kg in 12 weeks, slugged it out big time. Kept it off for 5 months, then did my knee at basketball. A combination of no exercise, and depression related to being cooped up in bed etc meant it all went back on and some. No ones fault but my own. That isnt an excuse, thats a reason. In hindsight I wouldnt have let it get me so down, but thats emotion for you.
