About Me
I work in a local supermarket, I have been separated for the last 6 years from my wife. No kids, I read voraciously, play guitar, well nearly, cook and use my computer in my spare time which I have too much of right now. I also present a program on local radio, Cuillin FM where I play absolutely anything.

Ive been an alcoholic binge drinker for approx 20 years now, sober since 26 Oct 2007. The longest Ive been sober for is about 2 years. In Dec last year I embarked on a binge that nearly killed me. Dont want to go back there, but it didn't stop me drinking, have had 3 relapses since Jan this year. Yesterday 15th Nov, I got my first sponsor.
