    Hi all-

    After many failed attempts to dry out, last year to the day i put down the glass. Im not complaining of course but im so curious as to why and how i did it this time. I won't say it was easy but i did it. My dad died of alcolol two years ago. I drank solid myself for the year then one day just stopped. Fineto. Im afraid to over think it or analyse it. I didn't go to meetings. Im not religious or spiritual but it feels like my addiction has been lifted.

    Have i gone soft in the head?

    No you haven't. I did the same - had an alcoholic parent who had managed to quit but the fear was always in me that I'd end up dependent. I loved alcohol and the buzz I got from it. But it came down to hating the after effects more. I feel freedom from it, from thinking about it, from debating the good and the bad emotions caused by it. I really don't miss it. It was hard at first getting through Christmas, a parents death, but almost a year on I am relieved. Fair play to you.
