It's the great wish of every alcoholic and I know there'll be people who read this and it will fire them up to think 'hey maybe?'
I tried for 20 years...I finally gave up and I won't be trying again.
I can't recall a single case out of the thousands of people I've met here who've returned to consistent and contented 'normal drinking'.
Finally, I have a friend who was a very destructive drinker - he gave up in his early 20s.
He started drinking again 2 years ago - just a drink here, a drink there...
last year he lost his home, his wife, and his kids due to his drinking.
He stopped again.
