The Perils of Alcohol
The Old Queen’s Head in the Essex Road, often chalks up a humorous message.
Notice Outside The Old Queen’s Head
This was yesterday’s philosophy.

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.

Much better to deal with the question/problem or alcohol can become the problem. And it is a harder one to deal with.

Agreed! But, I walk past this pub regularly and their patrons on the whole seem a well-behaved bunch.

They probably are, most people are. It is just a small percentage who when they have even a mouthful of alcohol are completely unable to stop, due to something in their metabolic system or genetic make-up. A great many of those people have cause to be very grateful that 80 years ago (almost to the day as it happens) a man called Bill Wilson met a man called Bob who last name eludes me, and that a doctor called William Silkworth took notice of them and supported their endeavour to help “hopeless drunks” become sober as they themselves had, thus starting Alcoholics Anonymous.

A friend of mine who goes to AA, has just got a mirror repaired for me by a fellow member. It was a job well-done and probably shows that AA matures into a piece of sensible social networking of the traditional sort. I suppose too, the guy who did the work , wouldn’t want to let his fellow member down either, by doing a bsd job.

I cannot speak higthly enough of AA, Many who first go there drinking need to change their friendship groups to keep sober, as all their other friends are still drinking. The love and care that members show each other is fantastic.
