also, you may or may not be an alcoholic, but before my drinking really kicked in, and when I worked a 9-5 job, I was able to stick to weekend only drinking. however years later, my drinking progressed and my work schedule made it possible for me to drink more and more.....I have found the progressive part to be true. it never gets better, only worse.

I can't moderate. I used to do just weekend benders, but then I would have whiskey in the morning to get rid of the hangover, then catch a buzz, and then start the whole thing over again. I can't say what works for others, but for me I'm all-in drunk or all-in sober. Could never get to be a friend of Mr. Inbetween.

I could never make it past Wednesday when I was only drinking on the weekends.

Me too MsHyde. I hardly ever drank on weeknights, hardly ever kept alcohol in the house. My drinking to excess occurred almost exclusively on the weekends. I have accepted the fact that I cannot drink. If I were to try this experiment I'm certain it would put me right back in the thick of it, no matter if I had 3 days sober (like I do right now) or 10 months.

Social events and occasions are better when you are sober , I am learning this more and more the further I go.
