My point was I'm not a psychologist Jeff...and I'm not necessarily 8 times or 8 years smarter than you

You actually not in a 'not drinking stage'...you're still in a drinking stage - admittedly at this point a 'drinking far less' stage, but like someone else said volume doesn't matter....a tap is on, whether it's a trickle or a flood.
Recovery is where my alcoholism is inactive.
Drinking is a sign my disease, addiction, whatever you want to call it is still active.
When you can get your head around that, I think you'll really start to go places.
