JediTrey: question I suppose, is : do you think easing back to being a light ( 2 glasses of win ON OCCASION) DRINKER, WHO DOESN'T HAVE THE URGE TO BLACK OUT, LIKE LAST NIGHT FOR ME, is possible? I'm starting to think I can, I'm confident of this...
Jedi, you are going to do whatever you want to do. If you decide to embark upon this little experiment, please come back and let us know how it worked out for you. Susan

Jedi. May the force be with you. It wouldn't work for me. If I drink it's for the buzz. One or two won't get me there, and anyway.....(insert any one of of permission giving thoughts from our personal library)........so I keep going. I have done "moderation" enough to know I am not able or willing to maintain it in the medium to longer term. It turns out to be hard work, and every time I have ended up a place I do not want to be. For me it's not worth the bother

I have to admit I find it hard to share your optimism - you were deathly scared for your life...and you lasted exactly 41 days, man.
I do wish you luck though Trey - you know where we are if you ever decide you need us.

I have to agree with Dee. (That dude has wisdom, haha). But when I posted earlier, I hadn't checked your previous posts. Looking at your previous posts, it appears your life would certainly be better without the alcohol. You know you are an alcoholic and ANY is too much for you.
Remember that alcohol is: cunning, baffling, and powerful.

For me alcohol is like the wolf is sheep's clothing. One won't hurt, it says luring you into a tangled web of deciet. The confindence of just one leads to another, and then another and pretty soon, right back where you started or worse. At least that's how I see it. Stop while you can, and don't listen to that little voice.....
