I agree! It is a game isn't it? A game that our ego plays with us, telling us we deserve that drink for whatever reason. Geez, can't even pinpoint the reason WHY I drink anymore (or should I say "drank" - I'm on Day 2 and not going to play the game anymore! :-) I had every reason in the book to drink; sad, lonely, happy, mad, stressed, bored, to socialize, with a meal, celebrate. . . etc. I could find any reason, anytime! Normal people don't think like that, do they?

Hey there JW,

Nice work on getting back here and coming clean.

I never thought of having 'just a couple'. I always wanted to get f****d up. If I had responsibilites the next morning, I would carefully plan the absolute maximum I could get away with. Ended up needing 3 bottles of wine just to 'keep my head together'.

It took me over two years of trying and failing, over and over, to realize that I couldn't drink ANY alcohol at all. Get back up, dust yourself off, forgive yourself, learn from it, and move forward again. Glad you're back and starting over.

Another one here - quit drinking 3 years ago, after a few months thought I could drink one or two once in a while. When I quit in April I was an around the clock 7 days a week drinker. I'm glad you found your way back here and are on the right track.
