A thought that helps when my brain tries to convince me I can moderate alcohol

Even if I somehow managed to drink only 2 days a month, the other 28 days would still be ruined with obsessive thoughts about how enhanced and “fun” alcohol would make them. It would still have control over me even on the sober days.

Yes ... any crack in the door of booze and it will dominate your thoughts . Not drinking is actually less stressful for me than trying to “moderate. “

Vicious!
