I gave up for three months earlier this year...and then slipped back into the the 'moderate' drinking thinking I had somehow cracked it!
Of course I hadn't cracked anything and I was soon slipping back into the old ways and becoming aggressive which was a new one for me.
That's why I somehow know now that drinking alcohol is not and will never be an option.
Just take the option mentally away completely and never question the best decision you have made in your life!!!
