Hi,
I gave up drinking for 3 years and at that time I was drinking every evening, I was never and never had been a day time drinker but would make sure that I was blotto by the time my evening session ended.
I lapsed into drinking again 2.5 years ago, when I drank around 3 times per week but still have no control over how much I drink once I start. After several blackouts of not remembering what I have done/said the night before I am now a week into my second attempt to kick the booze for good.
