Sober Talk SA - Dave

Dave shares his recovery story. Dave   My name's Dave, I'm an alcoholic, and it's lovely to be here down at the National Convention in Adelaide. I was a binge drinker, and I can go for quite a while without needing a drink, but as soon as the pressure or anxiety came in, then I'd drink. And it was a long time before I realised that I was an alcoholic. And on my last day of drinking, or my last but one day of drinking, I was due to talk to some car dealers. I used to work for a motor company. And to start the morning off, I went down to the local supermarket, which is started open early, and I bought two cans of wine. And although I had a lovely wine cellar at home, the only necessity was that on each can, it said 13% alcohol.
