well.... funny you should say that. A couple years ago I did 10 days sober here and it was a really rewarding experience. Then, I made the decision to go back out and practice 'moderate drinking'.
The following year I came here and was an absolute train wreck. I'm fortunate nothing horrific came of it and I somehow managed to not totally blow my career.....
But, there again; I had perhaps 'defeated it' at the time but then I chose to stop defeating it.
It showed me how easily we can go from 'defeating it' right back into an ever-worse place.
