Interesting. I'm curious now about your story.
Congrats, btw. 5 years is very impressive.
I'm at a place where it has caused problems and the person who has ended up suffering the most is myself, and I don't want to live like that.
Tricky part is that most of the time I do and can moderate, and am mostly a 'fun, happy drunk', when I am drunk.
The problem drinking only seems to crop up under certain circumstances.
Do I sound like I am making excuses?
