Thing is there is nothing you can do about the way you respond to alcohol, but you can choose whether or not you drink. It was a relief to me when I stopped trying to control alcohol and just let it go. It's so nice not having to worry about what's going to happen if I do drink.
I totally agree. It gets so exhausting trying to control alcohol. I have tried in vain for years to be a normal drinker! I'll only drink beer. Then I'll only buy a six pack. Then I'll only drink Ultra light beer (its like water right?). Jeez, its kind of embarrassing all the little lies I would tell myself in an attempt to control the drinking. Bottom line....alcohol was ALWAYS in control
