Hi Winelover,
Moderation never worked for me. Even if I wasn't craving a drink, I was thinking about it, even obsessing about it. I'd think I'd have a drink, later tonight, just two, and what shall I drink.... For me, it works so much better to just get it out of my mind, out of my life. There are so many more important things to think about.
Be kind to yourself and realize that your addict mind is playing with you. It will continue to play with you if you let it. You can recognize its messages and ignore them!
