True... True... I did that many-a-time. I could tell myself I was in control. But it always seems I'd rebound and drink even more. It was by serendipity that I was tapering the week before I quit. It was later that discovered my intake levels where high enough that I should've got medical advice first. I guess I was just lucky I didn't have and serious withdrawal effects.
