That's it in a nutshell....wanting to drink "normally" but knowing we can't.
I tried to live my old life just minus the alcohol several times and it never really worked. To make it last I had to make sweeping changes...what I did, where I went and who I went and did them with. I also has to specifically address my addiction...every day. Just "not drinking" was never enough..
