Like I said above, I did "figure out" moderation (for the most part). But it's a difficult and dangerous path for an alcoholic.
Sobriety delivers what alcohol promises. <-- not sure where I saw that, but I love it.

Well let me restate it slightly different and say I find it odd unless one is here to be talked out of abstinence, which is near impossible in a place called Sober Recovery
I think questions about moderation are fair enough but I didn't take the OPs thread so much as a question as an assertion. That is all fine in the end but I still don't see what the point is of posting it up here unless perhaps there's some hidden desire to be talked out of moderating.
