Hi stuck - thankyou for the updates. I'm glad you're feeling good & doing alot of thinking.
I'm afraid I have to agree with the others & say that moderation failed miserably for me. I understand exactly what you mean about the long road ahead without it, and that's the same way I felt. So I kept going, and almost lost my life clinging to the idea that willpower could actually work for an alcoholic. Please be careful, and let us know how you're doing.
