I think its great for us not to be overly critical of our progress and I agree that just 3 times drinking in 4 months is overall terrific.
However, I must say that for me there is much danger in that approach. Every single time I go down the rabbit hole, I tell myself I will drink just a few and just this time. And, for me, when I have "just a few" "just this one time" I in fact think its OK to do it again, perhaps the next day, perhaps a few days later. and then, especially if nothing truly awful happens, I do it again! And, there I am: back to blackouts, horrible hangovers, and all the terrible rest!
The problem for me is that alcohol is a highly addictive poison! Even just one drink retriggers for me the cravings, the desires, the compulsions and the insane thinking that "now I can drink safely..."
Nope, I cannot.
Good luck all on your journeys.
