@great-big-stees saidI am lacking in all 3 departments.
I sir, am a scarecrow and so don’t have one yet though I do plan, when this Covid thing is over, to travel to Oz to see about getting one.👍
I wonder if they have a bundle package 🤔

@contenchess saidI enquired, on you behalf, and was told that there was indeed a package deal, but only for “Democrats”.

@badradger saidI had to go for a blood test last year.
@Wycombe-Al
I am with you al I have a few + every night, my liver function results came back fine september gone.
All came back fine except for a liver reading.
Checked with the googler. Caused by excessive alcohol consumption but in some cases can be hereditary. Strange, my parents never had any problems and lived into their 90's.
@huckleberryhound saidFirst thing would be to STOP lying to yourself huck.
Thursday is always a stressful night for me, and one where a Rum and diet coke always feels deserved. This will be the fourth week in my sobriety (started Sunday 26th September). I've went months without a drink before, but when I go back off the proverbial wagon I can easily get into a habit of drinking two to three times a week. Not sure I'm ready to stay dry, but ...[text shortened]... e the will power when necessary.
Now "Processed Sugar free November"...that will be a challenge.
I knew I was an alcoholic in 1985 and took me until 1992 to actually quit.
I kept telling myself the same thing I've went for months without a drink so I know I can stop anytime. If only it were that easy.
You are either going to be a drinker or sober, the latter is your best option but hardest one, I been through it all my old friend. That you are actually talking about it is good.
I now drink a lot of coffee and tea, some would say I changed one addiction for the other, but I am ok with that. Let the red thumbs rain down as sometimes the truth can hurt.
I actually should have started this by saying congratulations on the four weeks of sobriety, good job!

@trev33 saidFor me personally if I go a few days without coffee. I get this splitting headache. All in my mind?
Did the same in February, good experiment to do, not just with alcohol, have done a similar thing with coffee... Both hard to cut out totally, mental thing really.

@very-rusty saidAre you going to start mocking him about his possible drink problem?

@divegeester saidNot unless he comes on here and starts ranting like you did in the EURO 2020 Thread.

@very-rusty saidSo despite your constant moralising over your own struggles with alcohol, you are still content to mock a person about their possible struggles with alcohol, if you see them post something which you disapprove of?

Are you that Insecure?
I believe you showed us your Character in EURO 2020 thread and your admitting you were drunk when you were saying the things you did. Did it learn you not to type and drink? 😉 😛

@very-rusty saidI think you’re a callus ex-alcoholic hypocrite who couldn’t give a rats ass about other people’s addiction issues and who is quite happy to mock them about it if it suits his sense of gaining a few internet points on a chess forum.

Similarly I don’t think you give a rats ass about Handy Andy, you just like to use him to seek attention.
@very-rusty saidI’ve told you before I was pissed out of my head and spent about an hour writing posts in the style of Very Rusty. In the morning I looked at them and realised it wasn’t as funny as seemed to me at the time and I just looked as retarded and boring as you so I deleted them all.

@divegeester saidI don't give a rats ass what you think gooster, and it is you who looks like he is looking for attention......LOL....You do make me laugh trying to be all righteous, when everyone knows you are not even close.
