I am about to hit day 30 of my journey. Part of me is so thrilled I have come this far and think that well, maybe I have learned to control and could have "just one".

But I know that "just one" will turn into "just one more" and end up at "just one bottle".

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Bradley!

As a side note, have you done the AVRT Crash Course? Do a web search for...AVRT...you will see Rational Recovery / Crash Course....take the Crash Course right there on the website. It is free, and it gives a great perspective on Addiction Recovery.

I do NOT drink...and I will NEVR change my mind...the consequences are NEVER worth the RISK

Jesus... This is so spot on its eerie. Literally what I have been / thought about trying to convey but couldn't find the right words
