This is the critical thing for me. I had to accept that drinking was just something in my life I could not control. Of course there were many times I just had a couple of (large) glasses of wine and then stopped. No problem.
My problem was that I did not want to stop. I COULD stop I just didn't want to. I never saw the point, and still don't, of just 2 glasses of wine. I drank for effect not the taste or because it was a decent wine. Just for effect.
No one on here will tell you it's ok to moderate or that you don't have a problem. But ask yourself - something brought you here. How many 'normal' drinkers do you know who would look up a sobriety website, sign up and post? None. Normal drinkers don't have to moderate of think about it - they just drink moderately as standard,without a second thought.
I hope you stick around
