My XAH was a true alcoholic who could not control the compulsion if he started to drink....they say 1 is too many and a hundred is not enough......We went to a therapist for awhile who said try to only drink only a sixpack....he couldn't do it. The first one set off the compulsion and he could not stop. The founders of AA figured this out. Step 1....we are powerless over (controlling) alcohol. They were wise 70+ years ago and nothing has changed.....For the true alcoholic you can't even drink one.......sets off the allergy and compulsion.....and no pills, and no pot, or drugs, or other mind altering substances. That is changing seats on the Titanic....you are still going down.
