I tried moderation even though I hated the concept, having a couple of drinks didn't accomplish nothing other than drinking more until I passed out. I truly didn't want to moderate and truly couldn't moderate and had to give up on that suggestion.
Pour it out. The last time I bought beer after physically shaking at the cash register and embarrassed to the point of crying, I went home and literally poured 24 beers down the kitchen sink. That was the line in sand for me.
Welcome and yes you can do this.
