Well, I have been around, just not posting. I read SR 3 or 4 times a week, but don't have anything to contribute because, yes, I am still going for moderation. Like I wrote, I have had some success. But there are nights (like last night) where I sit down and have 6 beers and wonder why I want the next one. Guess it's the same old story over and over again from everyone who tries what I am trying. My first step, I guess, was to realize that there IS enjoyment in life to be had without booze. I realized that. But I still believe that there is enjoyment to be had WITH it. I've had my share of booze related problems (the two DUIs), but I don't forsee any of THOSE problems any more (famous last words?).
I guess I just wanted to post here to say I'm around and still trying, just not getting as far ahead as I had hoped to by now and, perhaps, other people who are trying the same thing can read about what I've been going through and maybe that will help them make their own choices.
