Dave shares his recovery story.

Dave

My name's Dave, I'm an alcoholic, and it'slovely to be here down at the National Convention in Adelaide. I was a bingedrinker, and I can go for quite a while without needing a drink, but as soon asthe pressure or anxiety came in, then I'd drink. And it was a long time beforeI realised that I was an alcoholic.

And on my last day of drinking, or my last butone day of drinking, I was due to talk to some car dealers. I used to work fora motor company. And to start the morning off, I went down to the localsupermarket, 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 wasthat on each can, it said 13% alcohol.
