Hi tiac. I wanted desperately to be able to drink socially. When I was 26 I was still managing my drinking and it was all fun. Over the years my dependence on it grew. I was a slave by the time I hit my 50's. I would suspect that if there was a need for you to go to detox there would be a huge risk in picking up again. I hope you'll figure out what's best for you and that you won't gamble with your life and health (like I did). Wishing you all the best - hope you stick around for awhile and let us know how it's going for you.
