learn to drink in moderation

I usualy drink in moderation but once in like 2 months i drink like a monster and do very bad stuff, i swear a lot to my dearest and nearest and the i feel very sory and depressed… i only do it when i am totaly tashed…

I have been doing really well I stopped drinking completely for about a month and just I have only really over drank one night other than that I am def doing good at the moderation thing

I kinda overdid it last week. Had two big parties. I am on full detox mode now. No alcohol until thursday. Will want to extend it through the weekend as well

So I quit totally it’s been a week, which really isn’t very long at all but whatever. It’s really pretty easy I haven’t had any real issues with it other than when I go out and I realize how annoying drunk people are lol.

I may not be happy while doing it, but I do it. I think I’ve learned. And that, friends, is really exciting. I’m going to leave this goal here for another month or so and make sure it’s not a phase. Wish me luck!

had a big party over the weekend and I kind of overdid it again. I will de-tox over the week, and will implement the 5 drink limit again.

I stumbled upon this site while googling; alternatives to AA and drinking in moderation. It is comforting to know that their are other people who can relate to this idea. I have been to AA meetings in the past and realized that the concept of never having a drink again was not what I wanted. I enjoy drinking but lately when I do drink I drink entirely to much. I have been waking up with hangovers much more frequently than I would like to admit. I desire to be a person who can have a few drinks socially and on occasion, without overdoing it or suffering the next day. I’m happy I ran accross this site perhaps writing this entry will be the beginning of change for me. I’m so tired of being hungover!

this is the definition of being “cured” of alcoholism. “I’ll just have this one, thank you.”
I know there’s a raging debate on this topic. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I am now going to implement the 5 drink per session limit. No ifs ands or buts.

I quit drinking January 10, 2008. The year before, I spent 3 months in a 12 step group which told me I had a lifelong disease.

I finally quit drinking on my own and have stayed sober for 13 months!

If I can do that, is it possible to learn to drink in moderation?

I spent years being dependent on alcohol. It was bad, and my life has improved vastly since I quit. At the same time, I would like to be able to go out to a restaurant with my boyfriend and have a glass of wine or two.

At this point I do not believe that alcoholism is a disease, it is a behavioral problem. If I can fully quit, I wonder is it possible to drink normally?
