Good post.
That was very much the key for me to give it up. Once I accept that I could not control it in any form or amount, powerless and hopeless against the first drink, my body and mind in complete disarray, I then became able to 'think through the drink' for the very first time and to not pick it up in the first place.
Best wishes
