thanks for the post sadie. i am very interested in hearing how your solution continues to work for you.

i thought i could drink moderately and socially and keep things in check, and i did so for years. after many years of moderate drinking (like more than 10...) things started getting out of hand, and it took me another 10 or so to know I had a real problem. I know that I can't drink even one.

i should have been smarter: alcoholism runs in my family. it would be very unlikely for me to be able to drink moderately and for it to turn out ok. does alcoholism run in your family at all? If so, be very careful.

Best wishes,
Andrew

I think Shizzle is here because she needs to be here. Her posts don't offend me at all but I have no desire to try her method. For me it's abstinence and that's what I want in my life.

I tried controlled drinking before I got sober, sometimes it worked, most times it didn't and I don't want to go there again.

good luck to you friend - I hope all works out.


for me, if I drank one beer, in four or five years I would probabley be dead. Or mental.
