Glad that the post was helpful. Also I just have to share that I have just given my partner a chocolate bar he bought for me last night because he ate all of his yesterday and I couldn't bear the pitiful look on his face lol I think I may be an enabler!!!!!!! 😕

Within a few short years, I was an all day every day drinker. I wanted to die. I was depressed and afraid of my own shadow. It took me two years longer to quit again. There were still days when I would have "only" a couple beers. I guess you could try to call that moderation.
Moderation. It works until it doesn't. I didn't get any warning postcards. I was suddenly hooked. I went from occasional drinker to daily alcoholic. I don't ever want to go through that again. Moderation will never work for me.
