I can only speak for myself Anthony. I'm not a member of any group.
Once I fully accepted that I could not now or ever control my drinking, it (eventually) ceased to be a viable option for me.
The energy I'd put into that struggle for years were freed to focus on other things.....
In my opinion, if you are currently not drinking then you have control over your drinking. It is my experience and belief that it is only through the decision not to drink that one doesn't drink. It really is as simple as that.
I'm not sure how I can have control over something I don't do, but I suspect that's just semantics.
I certainly feel empowered in my life these days - I didn't for 20 years
