Ayup. 1 drink is too many and 10 is not enough. That's me.

Alcoholism Is a progressive disease . At one point you may have been able to get what you needed from one bottle of wine and be satisfied but due to the progression of the disease it takes more to be satisfied. I find for me it’s easier to not touch alcohol at all rather then to try and moderate my drinking . It never worked for me I would always end up right back in that vicious cycle. Good luck to you . You got this :blush:

We just don’t take that 1st drink no matter what!!! We have tools now., we have a fellowship if we want one., we have a high power if we want one,,, I want to stay sober TODAY more than I want to drink….. I stay in the middle,, I reach out and stay connected…. All these tools are available to all of us…. How much do you want it!? I want it!!!

Would you really want to drink like a 'normal person', or would you rather be free from the poisonous drug that has been marketed to you as a solution when it provides none?

“Many of us were unwilling to admit that we were real alcoholics, by every form of self deception and experimentation we tried to prove that we were exceptions to the rule”

#17

That is the issue. I have tried everything. And the bottom line is I have no self control and I AM an alcoholic. I crave the wine

#18

I learned that self control is non existent for an alcoholic concerning alcohol.

So how did you stop

I went to a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous and listened to what they had to say. They read page 30 and 31 in the AA Big Book and I totally identified.
I took the suggestions of the people there. Now I have recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body.
