Nope. Tried at least 4 times the last few years. I would do ok at first but never felt satisfied. The first time I would get the job done right I turned into a full time employee that never missed a day of work for any reason.

A big aha moment came to me, after a year's sobriety. My AV was still dancing with all of these ideas of moderation. I am an extremely stubborn, will full, strong minded individual. I have stayed sober for almost two years on my first attempt at sobriety. So, knowing this about myself, how could I not just willfully moderate my alcohol intake? The answer is that once I have some alcohol in my system, I am not that same, sane person. My AV will take that willpower and run with it, the other way. After one drink, I am not making the same decisions that strong, willful DD makes. Like Dee likes to say, "Do not confuse abstinence with control."
