Damn.... next thing I know.... I don't know.
Controlled drinking is too f-n hard for me.
I don't think I have anything like OCD... just obsessive thinking, and my solutions for that are to change gears/location/activity. Have you tried meditation?
Yeah, it's too hard, and it always snowballs, given enough time.
I tried some kind of meditation with a therapist some years ago. I don't think I really got it though.
