Is it possible for a problem drinker to become a "normal" social drinker? I have never seen it happen.
I wouldn't focus on forever if that scares you. I know it did me at first. Just don't drink today.
Now the thought of never having another drink brings me joy.
From a guy who is almost a year sober, after seeing what is on the other side of alcoholism and that lifestyle I have NO desire to have just one.
