After a two-month long relapse, I have been able to refrain from drinking today. What a relief!
When I began drinking two months ago, after that detox in the Oregon Trappist monastery ( I gave in to the urge to drink, after an exhausting 7 hour drive to the Olympic Peninsula for a short family vacation in Port Angeles),, I was able to drink only 5 beers a day. That was a great improvement over the usual 10 that I consumed on a daily basis. I thought that maybe kudzu was the reason. The real reason was that I was in early relapse. After a few weeks, I was drinking my 10 beers a day again.
Consequently, I am convinced that moderate drinking is not an option for me.
I will be relying more heavily on the hypnotherapy tapes in my recovery process, although I will have to purchase a few different tapes aimed at the abstainer, instead of the moderation drinker.
wishing all of you success,
francophone
