The best - and the only encouragement - I will give you is to go for abstinence.
Abstinence has changed my life
immeasurably for the better.
Why would I share otherwise? How could I encourage you to drink?
I will not pre drink, I will not drink to get drunk, and I will not black out.
If you had this measure of control you would not have needed to seek out SR in the first place, BD.
I thought I could somehow learn that control but all I learned was that after that first drink I change. All bets are off because I am no longer in control.
At the end of the day if you want to drink you don't need my or anyone else's approval BD.
I don't really give a rats if I come across pushy either.
Sometimes you have to stand up for what you believe in. You may not agree but I might help someone else reading.
Maybe you'll remember that b****** Dee one day and think I was maybe not such a jerk after all?
