For a little more than 11 months I've been sober and quite happy with the way things have been going. This has been by far the longest I've abstained from alcohol since I started drinking 15 years ago. Recently, however, I've been seriously debating with myself on whether I should give 'moderate' drinking a chance. I know it's a terrible idea, and probably would not work.. nor do I want to erase 11 months of hard work or disappoint my loved ones.

Doesn't mean I haven't been researching moderate drinking on the internet and seriously considering giving it another go. I feel like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; one minute I'm 100% resolute in keeping my promise of sobriety, the next minute I feel like I can and should try moderate drinking. It doesn't help that I'm going on vacation with my wife soon, and I would love to relax with an alcoholic beverage in the local drinking spots.
