I'm a recovering alcoholic. 8 1/2 years sober. CH started in my late teens, well before I started drinking. Alcohol is a trigger when I'm in a cluster but has no effect when I'm not in a cluster. CH was probably good for me in that it made me stop drinking at least for a couple of months a year. When I got sober my clusters went from once a year to every other year. They haven't gone away (last cluster started in Dec.98). The other "features" of a Ch sufferer I don't have, clear skin, weak jaw, etc.
