I know that feeling of thinking you can "outsmart" alcohol. Surrendering to the fact that you cannot outsmart, out run, or "manage" it is very freeing. I resisted that myself for a long time. It angered me that I could not drink moderately anymore. And I kept banging my head against the wall. And to what end? I was still an alcoholic and I had a bruised head!!
