I first posted here in 2012. I didn't post again because I was happy with moderating which I managed for over a year. Then in the blink of an eye, I was back to drinking every night and more than I had ever done before. However I found myself lurking here all the time. Maybe I was more open minded and ready to take on what people were saying but I have stayed close to this forum and it must have worked, my last drink was on New Year's Eve. It's not been easy but even if you never post again, the tools are here to help you towards a sober life.
