I met a guy at Aa a good few years back. He'd been sober 25 years and gone out again some time past.
It didn't work for him.
He's got another few years under his belt again now. He's well into his 80s.
I last saw him when I was last at Aa and he still always told the story to us younger ones who were getting the idea of trying a little controlled drinking.
It's never a good idea. x
