That's been a big problem for me to, the old "well one or two drinks won't hurt anything" mentality. A glass or two of wine in the evening won't do any harm to most people, but as an addict, maintaining impulse control has to be first priority. I know I've tried just having one or two drinks, but once I get a buzz on it's all downhill from there. I've replaced wine with tea and I've found it's really more the ritual that helps me to relax and tea doesn't increase the likelihood that I'm going to do something stupid. Good luck to you
