The only experience I have with this is utter failure. I'm an alcoholic like described in AA's Big Book. I've also never really seen other alcoholics of that description pull off normal drinking. The book talks quite a bit about that as 'the great obsession of every abnormal drinker is that one day he will control his drinking,' or something like that.
I have seen people pull off a little drinking here and there for a while. And then I see them get thumped hard after a time, crawling back into the rooms of AA for another round of experimentation.
So the real question is, are you an alcoholic like decribed in that book?
