Congrats on 3 weeks

however I do miss the tipsy feeling a little, perhaps ill drink once or twice a year, socially only on weddings etc I guess getting tipsy isnt too bad if i did it a couple of times a year?
what you have there is a fallacy, one that's very familiar to me.

We come to places like SR because we can't control our drinking, but that little fantasy there is all about control - you stopping at one or two drinks, being nicely tipsy not drunk....

It took me years to accept this, but I know now it's the first drink that starts the madness....not the 15th

The likelihood is that the one or two times a year you speak off may turn out to be many more and, rather than just being tipsy, you may find yourself with far worse consequences.

tell that inner addict to bog off
