Welcome to our recovery family. If you're truly an alcoholic (like I am) you'll never be able to 'control' your drinking. Or as is said; when you can control it you're not enjoying it and when you're enjoying it you're not controlling it. Besides that, normal drinkers never even give it a thought as they have no problem and no need to 'control' their drinking.

I wondered what I'd do with my time when sober, but it turns out I do anything I want and do it better sober. No more forgetting or regretting or shame. No more wasted time and money. No more waking up feeling like sh!t and wishing I were dead...

In the last 18 months I've enjoyed my life instead of dreading it and wishing it were over. I'm happy because I choose to be instead of the opposite. I love living sober. I bet you will too.
