I have said this many times. That is one reason I know i need a change. It is scary though, the thought of total abstinence (even though I know it is what I need). For one, we have an upcoming trip to Spain/France and we have always loved having a glass of wine with dinner. It is never in these situations where I have a hard time moderating - it's typically in big group events or nights out at the bars with my buddies. I wish I could still have the occasional glass or beer in those situations, but I'm afraid that that will just put me in the same spot that I continually find myself in - keeping it in check for a few months, and then having a really bad night.
I appreciate the posts people have submitted and reading about their experiences seems all to familiar...
