Having said that I will normally stop after one bottle.
This is pretty much similar to the pattern I used to follow.
Now, looking back at myself a half a year ago I realize I did have a problem.
This mask of addiction maybe not that pronounced as in case of daily drinkers, but it's still slippery slope. It's kind of illusion of control. Addiction plays a tricky game with us.
My advice is - stop this game, there's no use gambling health and life.
Best wishes to you. It's a great place of support to give a try and maintain your sobriety. And it's definitely worth trying and keeping.
Take care, keep posting.
