youre not alone in the controlled use thing..i tried it and tried it...and tried it...bottom line..its torture...i'd rather not torture myself anymore ..i tell myself everyday..its a no winner..never ever do i want 2 try it agian..im glad ur back..lesson learned..reflect when u think about it..keeps me straight everytime i remember how bad i felt after..thing is i dont have to ever feel like that agian as long as i remember the first step my powerlessness and not to take the first one..
You're right it is torture, pure and simple.
Feels so good to have stopped, honestly this time feels different. I just feel so certain that i've made the right choice.
I think even in my alcoholic brain I know that I gave "controlled drinking" the best shot I could give it. Explained away the few times I got REALLY drunk as just random events that could have happened to anyone.
When i decided to stop it was so black and white. I was actually drinking at the time. Got a glass of red wine in my hand, already had one setting in for the bottle and I just said No more.
Drank the glass i had (I mean obviously I'm English!!!!) and had no more.
Every other time I've stopped its because I've woken up in a hedge or something... but this it was mid drink.
The support on here truly is priceless. Means so much.
