I've always maintained (but never openly shared), that in the history of humanity, with all the millions of alcoholics that have ever lived, there has to be, statistically, a percentage that have successfully been able to get control of their drinking, and drink indefinitely in a responsible, healthy manner. Logic would only dictate that this be the case given that all humans are unique. While a general baseline of alcoholics can never drink responsibly, there have to be some that can successfully diverge from the median representation.
I think the percentage that can do this successfully is extremely low, and I'm definitely not one of them. If I take one drink, it's "game on." I hope you're one of the people in my theoretical group. I kind of wish I was, but the days of that possibility even entering my mind any longer are gone (despite the relapses I've had along my sobriety journey).
Whatever the case, I wish you nothing but the best.
