Your post about how this might work for months or years but will eventually catch up with me also made me think. Thanks!
Another couple red flags there to think about BoSox:
1. How are you positive you could go 6 months? Have you ever tried?
2. Having to "come up with a reason to not drink" says to me that you see drinking heavily every weekend as normal - which it is definitely not.
Not trying to bring you down here, just some honest reactions to your replies. I learned over time that many things that seemed "normal" to me were really out of whack with reality in regards to my drinking.
