Soooo a little after 6 months AF I had a drink. I was on a date and knew and planned ahead to have one. I had wine and it tasted disgusting and I’m happy about it!! Another day tried a sip of my friends, still tasted gross to me. Almost like a kid trying for the first time. But tequila is my downfall. Went out to dinner with a friend and had 1 margarita. Had no desire or urge to have another. Had water instead. I’m very proud of myself, although don’t want to fall back into the rabbit hole. The next day after the margarita I woke up with feeling of a hangover. Not a bad one, but still felt it. Found that weird. Dunno if anyone else has experienced this. I have realized that I’ve relied on alcohol for so long for human interaction/company and to cope with loneliness. I’m not sure how I’ll proceed going forward. I’m still in outpatient 2x a week therapy 1x a week, meditation group 1x a week and reiki 1x a week.

I think if you can stop at one drink you are fine. The very concept of stopping at one margarita is absurd to me 
; I would say most of us on here aren't capable of that. If you truly think you can keep it at that "social lubricant" level then more power to you. I wish I could honestly. Be careful.
Stopping at 1 drink is impossible for me over time...
I don’t think this ends well. Best of luck.
