Hello and welcome,

You are a CEO. So if someone came to you with a plan to do something with a guaranteed positive outcome ( in your case moderate drinking to 'normal' levels - or stop for a month), but then admits they have failed to ever achieve it in the previous 15 years. How long would you give them to finish the pitch ?

Sorry, but the truth - sadly - for people like us is that we are incapable of moderating our drinking.

This was the shocking advice I received in my first post here, and then saw re-iterated hundreds of times by others here - so I thought I'd share it with you.

It is a hard truth to swallow at first - and I found stopping drinking a long grieving process at first - but slowly and surely, day by day, each hangover free morning seems a little brighter.

After all that tough love, I also want to say well done for finding SR and posting here. You can do this.

Best wishes

Fradley
