Hi juggling - it's so great to have you join us. You're a wise woman to be questioning your drinking habits. I wish I'd had the sense to do it many years ago. Instead, I allowed my drinking to spin out of control - and it almost destroyed me.
I once drank like you - quite civilized for the most part. Yet the danger signs were there, & I refused to see. Over time, my tolerance became huge. I went from getting buzzed on a glass of wine to drinking a 30-pack of beer all by myself in a day. I didn't feel anything but numb, foggy, and stupid. Like Dee - I fought like crazy to hold on to the ability to drink - but why? It brought me nothing but misery in the end.
Let us know how it's going - keep posting.

Hey Jugglingmama!
I can certainly relate to the way you are feeling about alcohol and I know I AM an alcoholic. It is a problem to always be thinking about your next drink. Even if you are able to "moderate" your drinking this month, won't you still be thinking about the alcohol constantly and wasting so much time trying to stay in control. It is so much more freeing to get rid of it altogether. Best wishes on your journey and whatever path you choose!
