Alara I gave up drink finally on the 2 Aug. I would say I started to feel really better about a month from then. I still don't often endlessly extemporise in a mad passion like before. I also watch too much TV, although it's getting less. I have to make the effort to practise piano in a more structured way. Extra happiness comes from doing that, and knowing that I'm doing it better. I suppose my happiness depends on my getting things done - household chores etc. All done in a Zennish frame of mind, that everything I do is equally important - or that everything is more important than everything else. Watching work pile up is a sure way of losing my Zen calm. The urge "to let my hair down" hardly comes at all now, although I still have addictions, like reading Philosophy books in bed while puffing on my pipe. Please let me know how you get on. Wishing you luck
Fred
