It is not worth the risk. I have stated many times on this forum that I CAN have one or two, but it is not fun and I have realized that I was NEVER interested in moderation. It has always been far easier for me to just have none. But I know most people wish they could. The scariest is when the have a good bit of sobriety under their belt and forget the grip of alcohol (that was me after my last stint of 70 days of sobriety). It's something in the Big Book about alcoholics not being able to remember with sufficient force that moderation is not possible. (I am way paraphrasing....that is just a quote an AA friend of mine kept sending me when I kept saying months ago I wanted to moderate.). And also, I REALLY believe the non-alcoholics of the world don't have to sit around and think about moderating, anymore than people who have no issues with food sit around and think about eating all the time......I am with Dee and Hypo.....it is deeper stuff going on.
