glad youre here,santideva.
"I am a very high functioning alcoholic."
if you reread your op a couple times,you might see that high functioning is astage of alcoholism.
imo, youve passed that stage.
this:
"My plan is to attempt to quit drinking completely starting on Monday, February 20th. My second attempt will be the following day. If I find that I can not quit that day or any of the next seven days, I will start attending AA meetings. If within two weeks I am unable to quit drinking after starting AA meetings, I will request acamprosate from my psychiatrist and continue to attend AA meetings. "
reads like a lot of rationalizing insanity.
