None of us can tell you which path is right, but if you have experienced repeated relapses...you know its best not to tempt fate in any way.
One of the hardest things about Alcoholism is accepting that, even while at your best, you still cant control it and it can destroy everything.
Hey, I just want to sample a bottle of that fancy beer. I just want to be able to have a Mimosa or two at that "bottomless Mimosa" brunch. Im not trying to get drunk, I just want the flavor.
Non Alcoholic will do...and that is in someway mimicking old behavior and can quickly lead back. I use to, for so many years, hate how black and white the whole alcoholism thing was. Then at some point, you realize the accuracy of it all if you reach that point. Those measures that may have seemed so petty and trivial at one point start to make more sense.
