Glad you made it back AnotherAlkie.
Might I ask if you are following any sort of recovery program or plan during your sober stretches? Having some kind of daily support of some kind can really help.
One statement you made above is a bit telling: You said ONCE AGAIN I've learned that while I'm fine with drinking a small amount at social gatherings, I can't do it,. If your mind is still trying to rationalize that you can somehow have that "small amount" you probably haven't fully accepted your acloholism. Perhaps you didn't mean it that way and I'm reading it wrong, but to truly accept/surrender to addiction you have to accept that you cannot pick up even the first drink - ever. It's a tough one to be certain....but it's necessary.
