I tend to only drink beer or wine these days and not every day, but I still have problems. It's like the old alky habits are still there - feeling deprived if I don't have a drink, drinking more than other people, binging on vodka for days etc - have been hitting withdrawal roughly once a month.
Anyway I have been trying to do controlled drinking and sometimes it works and it's great but too often I go crazy. I REALLY do not want to do abstinence, but I don't want to do this to myself anymore.
My question is When do you KNOW you will never be able to do controlled drinking? When is it time to admit defeat? I have promised my family I will not drink for a year and will see my old counsellor again (who was brilliant). I know that will be hard cravings-wise etc, but I am going to do it because I can not trust myself controlling it yet. Will I ever be able to after that? Anyone been there? :thanks:
