Until I didn't.
Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic. We say it all the time because it's true. There is something in our makeup that makes us unlike other people. I drank moderately. Then I didn't. This was just as true for me in 2007 as it was in 1972.
Don't fool yourself that it's okay to let a lion out of its cage a little at a time.

Nearly 5 months sober now. These days I make sure I eat every 3 hours or so and if I want sweet stuff, I have it.
