Can I moderate myself to the 'occasional beer or two'?
you can answer that yourself by looking at your past.
like this:
Checking in to let you all know I have proudly completed my first full month of sobrietyhaving drank heavily for most of this millennium.
or this
Drank heavily (mainly light beers) since the mid 90s.
or this
Drank since I was around early to mid twenties I guess. Quite heavily over the past 15+ years.
want someone else to start payin more attention to your wife than you did again?
