Who am I? You could say I have 'been there and done that'. If I was to create a jigsaw puzzle to depict my life, it would a 3D 1,000 piece version and far from complete. I have worked in a shop, been a City businessman, owned my own company, been a science teacher and even managed a tobacco farm. I have known success and failure and even watched my card being swallowed by the bank machine as I waved goodbye to my last few pounds (mind you despite this I still managed to find enough pennies to buy a bottle of wine and some fags!) I have been sacked and I have sacked people, I have travelled far and wide and seen a lot of what's good and bad in the World, I have even had a gun held to my head. I have known sublime happiness and deep despair. I have had marriages and divorces, been a single parent, seen the miracle of my two daughters brought into the World, and known the sorrow of saying goodbye to parents and both brothers. I have even watched my mother and elder brother drink themselves to death. I am a scientist but I embrace all the World's religions equally and have my own deep philosophy on life. But if one piece of the jigsaw puts all the rest into perspective, and will help me complete a picture I would be happy to frame and be proud of, it is being able to finally say, 'I don't drink!' My first book The 7.52 to London Bridge relates some of the most amusing experiences of my life, using the medium of me commuting by train to set the scene for each tale. The sequel 'the naughtiest boy in school' follows on with me becoming a middle-aged student teacher and is a mix of those experiences and my own mayhem filled school-days. My second series of books are self-help guides aimed at helping people with alcohol issues. 'I Don't Drink - how to quit alcohol' takes you through my own experiences and details the methodology I developed to quit forever. Through this book I hope to help many other people experience the freedom of escaping the alcohol trap. It is likewise full of amusing tales, but these are deliberately included as part of my methodology, which worked so completely for me. As a prequel to 'I Don't Drink!', 'One Less for the Road' is aimed at the person with a drink issue but who doesn't want to quit.
