sober at last, afraid to moderate
Hi moofalmer
I to can not moderate it has took me 16 years to realise that. I have an addictive personality. So it is all or nothing for me. When i was younger i would open a box of chocolates and have to eat the whole box. I am now smoking 20 cigs a day -i dont even smoke. But anythin to make the drink twitches go away and the Al on my shoulder. I to will think i will have just a couple of small glasses of wine just 2 in a nice glass in the garden. Perfectly chilled. I go into the off licience to buy the nice decent bottle and come out. When the the 2 glasses are up i will finish the bottle and the next night i will say well last night was ok. So we will do the same tonight. But i go in and get 2 bottles because Al says you were ok last night. It soon ends up drinking all day and i too end up on the vodka. I am not strong enough. I have been a people pleaser all my life and find it very difficult to do things just for myself. But this has too stop. Because if i dont then i will have no one left to please except the gutter
Some people can drink in moderation but i am a firm believer it is the first drink that gets you drunk. I am only 1 drink away from being a drunk
