Where to start ? I signed up to AHC when I accepted I had an alcohol problem and realised I needed to address it and change my life style.I said I wanted to reduce/cut back on amount I drank and started receiving suggestiond,hints & advise through e-mail. I also started seeing professional counsellors & organisations.The advise I was getting off AHC was mirrored by the experts. I tried counting units, then meditation ,mindfulness and distractions - all to reduce my consumption. I couldn't make it work but now my goal is total abstinance - first time this was suggested/mentioned to me I was filled with dread and fear - no alcohol ever again ! Well today that thought fills me with hope ' excitement & happiness - it's early days but I am enjoying waling up without a hangover,enjoying not planning/craving my next drink - enjoying life again - brilliant - ThNkyou AHC & everyone for helping me & pointing me the right way - cheers .
