When I knew that drinking was out of the equation, I could also say goodbye to obsessing over the alcohol content of wine and the number of glasses I could have; wondering how I could possibly pace myself once I'd got the taste; agonising about whether or not to get the next bottle; worrying about getting home; panicking about what I might do or say, etc etc
This is a much easier way to live
That is and has always been my problem. I have been unwilling to accept that I cannot moderate. I always assumed there was some kind of trick to it; something I hadn't tried...a 1000 'day 1's and I have finnaly arrived at the truth - I can't moderate my drinking.
