[QUOTE=T5hlP5;3125552]Itake one drink and stop. Actually, the Big Book contradicts itself by saying there are cases in which someone stops for a long time (25 years) and then drinks and is dead in 4 years and then there is someone who puts whiskey in his milk and goes on a binge and ends up in a sanitarium.

To be honest I do not get the whole paragraph up there, but I agree with the above comments,,,,,,,, I can also just have one drink and stop and I also have tried it many times over many months where I would have one or two or three and then nothing for two weeks then some again over a weekend then nothing, but 6months or more down the track it would catch me on a full blown relapse and have me do crazy things that a sober me would not even fathom to do...........but then again I can;t say that maybe after 5 years of sobriety I can;t just have the one drink and never fully relapse again.......only you yourself can know...
