There isn't one universal answer to this whole drinking business, BunnyDale. Pick a program by name, and ask google for its success rate. It doesn't matter which one you pick for research, the success rates are dismal and most don't do as well as a stern talking to from your Dr.
The thing that makes a successful approach to sobriety is YOU and your commitment to it.
To your question, you still seem to think that life is better with booze. It might be for some folks, but it made me depressed, anxious, guilty, ashamed, fearful, isolating and sick. If you can decide that you are like me that way, then you might be ready to make that plan concerning your future use of alcohol. I wish you the best.
