For alcoholics it is anyways.
So I need to not think that I can drink like a "regular" drinker.
Ever see little kids playing and one or a couple of them will be standing and all of a sudden drop to their knees and keep playing? It doesn't even hurt them a bit. If I did that......I'm pretty sure it would hurt.
There was a time when I drank like "normal drinkers." I wasn't always out of control.......... but not recently. I'm not that little kid that can just jump down to my knees and not get hurt. My drinking changed......and it doesn't ever change back.
Besides, I did manage to drink just a couple right towards the end of my drinking career - it sure wasn't "good drinking." Controlled drinking is, to me......even today.....pretty dumb. It's a waste of good booze. I know, beyond all doubt, that I like to drink the way I LIKED TO DRINK - which was all or nothing.
