Going to my GP soon for a blood pressure check (which amazingly has gone down too....I wonder why) so will have a chat with him while I'm there
This went really, really, really well...........blood pressure is the most normal its been since I started having treatment for it, my "sample" shows that my liver is working normally and is healthy and on the whole my doctor said I should be very pleased with myself!! (he has a special interest in alcohol related problems from his previous practice so knows what he's talking about)

I told him exactly what I had been doing and why I wanted it all to stop. I also told him what I had done to change my drinking habits to which he said "you have recognised the potential in yourself to become an alcoholic and because of this have gone from being a heavy drinker to a sensible one" He also joked that since I no longer smoke either he expects to see me at the front of the London Marathon next year......................
