That's a good description, I'm good fun at about 50/50, any further towards extrovert and things can get a bit hairy!

I've a mate having a home detox starting 5th Jan. He's terrified, poor bloke! Anyone care to share their experiences of detox? I appreciate it's very personal, but I think these things are very helpful for others. My sister always backs out at the last minute when she's been booked-in.
I'm back to sobriety now after last weekend - it was how it should be: fun and sociable rather than necessary and I've had no desire to drink this week at all.

Mates (aloholic) girlfriend may or may not be out hospital for xmas.
She's been detox on account of tripping over a road surface imperfection, in July
All sorts of complications, Inc bone infection ( week in ICU)
Still, she'll have 6 months dole to splurg

Presumably there's some psychotherapy
This one's dad had bit of habit, but that's no excuse
Neither is losing job in inland rev or splitting up with (possibly ) abusive marriage partner of 3 weeks, possibly due to her drinking
Impossible to get the whole picture from an alci

I'm not sure it's impossible to get the whole picture from an alcoholic, although it certainly can be difficult. I think once someone is determined and they feel they can trust their supporter, they'll be brave enough to be completely honest. A trained listener (or a particularly gifted amateur) will know how to engender that trust.

I've bought one Stephen Fry's new book as a Christmas gift for someone. I had a sneak read before wrapping it, as I always do; without dog earing the pages. He talks about his coke indulgence- " I didn't take coke because I was unhappy (at least I don't think so). I took it because I really, really liked it."
That's ^ one sort of picture.
