Good luck.

I always wanted to get to the stage where I could drink 'normally' and retain control of my drinking.
It took me a long time to realise that I will never be in control of alcohol. When I have one drink, then all bets are off as to when I will stop drinking.
I want that second drink more than the first, the seventh more than the sixth, etc.
It's the first drink that gets me drunk, as it invariably led to more drinks.

I now realise that I cannot drink ANY alcohol safely. Thus my limit today is zero. And I am happy with that.

I have a very different relationship with alcohol - I like to drink a little but often. However that can be bad for you too - say a large glass of wine = 3 units = 7 days = 21 units which = unhealthy.

I've never liked the feeling of being drunk or drinking too much. However, a little too often can be bad for you too.

Which is why I'm a cutter/downer and why counting AFDs and units works fo me.:)
