Hello, my name's David and I'm an alcoholic.

David Smith nodded once in general greeting to everyone who sat with him in the small circle.

Hallo David, came the collective response, with varying degrees of interest.

They were gathered in a small fluorescent lit room in Hove Community Center.

David ran a hand through his short dark hair and scratched his head.

There, not a lot really going on with me right now.

I've been sober for over two years and, as you know, it's not always easy, but I'm getting there, one day at a time.

He shrugged.

Thanks.

He looked at the group leader, Mary, to indicate he had finished. Really, David?

said Mary.

Nothing at all to share.

Um, no, not really.

My girlfriend is going back to Germany this week, which is a bit of a bummer, but you know,

that's life.

Well, how do you think you'll cope with that?

Fine.
