I'm not recommending this, but the option is always there to try out the drinking again and see what happens.
I know you're not suggesting it augustwest, but I've never liked that suggestion...I always thought I'd have been one to go out and not have the chance to come back.
I think most of us here have done enough drinking to know what happens, really...we know well enough...we just keep testing it to see if it's changed LOL.
Eventually if we're lucky, we accept finally that it's not going to change, and start moving forward
