Good luck Bruce,
I am much the same...I keep a good handle on things when work's important, but blow of WAAAY too much steam when I'm off (as Mikey will attest to).
Luckilly for me, work's been crazy for the last four months...I'm sure I would've cut loose on the Cutty trip, but just received news that the company is being sold on the day after Cutty, so I have to go straight from the ferry to work all night through to Monday.
Kind of felt good to hear this, even though I'm gonna be tired.
Maybe catch some more fish not being so loaded all the time.
Love Ya Bro,
Rick

Hang in there bro, I stopped 12 years ago, cold turkey.
the first couple of days are the hardest but trust me it
gets better. In a month you will not believe how good you feel.

There are quite a few of us who have walked this road before... and clearly remember 'white-knuckling' our way through the first months.
The rewards are well worth it. PM one of us if you need to talk.

Parker,
Be strong.
It will be tough to get over the physical addiction, but this is doable.
Addressing the underlying emotional issues will be tougher, but doable.
Good luck and stay the course.
