Hi Cherry,

Thanks for the thread- alot of good responses. I am at 168 days sober. I have never quit before and didn't try to control it when I drank. I basically binge drank on most occasions when I drank which was every weekend and any other day I had off of work. Some of the responces really hit home. I do think the risk of going back to where I was is greater than the reward of having a few drinks. I never want to be as drunk as I was when I was at my peak so I am not sure if it is possible to have a few. Also don't want to have to worry about controling it either.

I do not attend AA for personal reasons but I do think attenders seem to be happier.

Good luck and keep us posted. This thread has giving me some reassurance as to why I don't want to try to control it.
