Everyone's saying good things. I dabbled in moderation, sometimes successfully, sometimes failing completely, before I got here, and I don't want to play russian roulette anymore. I tried moderation of all kinds-- this many drinks per night, this many drinks per week, only on the weekends, etc. Everything would fly out the window if my equilibrium tilted--pulling out the "me" that has an intense taste for the stuff & would be fantasizing about the next drink two sips into the current one . . . the part of me that switched on the "get bombed" light.
At almost six months, I don't find myself missing it, and the only thing I still struggle with is feeling socially out of place as a nondrinker, but I'm working on it.
