But. I admit I'VE driven while very, very drunk. I'm a small woman. That alone is reason to not drink. I know that. Yet a piece of me tells me I'm not that far gone, that I can control this.
I didn't drink every day, I've never drunk all day, I've never missed work from drink and I've absolutely never driven drunk. Who would do that, in the UK people here often get killed by drunk drivers.
But I'm an alcoholic. Alcohol was stealing the joy of life from under my very nose and I had no idea until I stopped.
There is nothing positive, zero, zilch, nada, nicht, that drinking, even in moderation, could possibly add to my new sober life.
Try it for yourself and you may too ask yourself why you would want to moderate?
Good luck on your journey :-) and I wish you all the best.
