Reading A Happier Hour and this really struck me... hope it can help someone else tonight too!
“What if ‘controlling my drinking’ didn’t mean learning how to moderate, but creating a life so complete and fulfilling that alcohol couldn’t add anything I didn’t already have? Is that what this was all about? Did I need to create a life—and a relationship with myself—that I didn’t want to escape from?”

I can certainly testify to the efficacy of building a sober life I love.
Its just me, but I wouldn't call it controlling my drinking tho - it's more accepting and recognising the drinking as the self destructive and totally insane life stealing thing it is for me and drinkers like me.
