> I won't commit to "being sober" - it doesn't work with me. I get really rebellious, and I'll be drinking this evening if I deny myself alcohol forever. But I Can commit to Only drinking Very, Very moderately when I start again, a drink at a sitting. I know that's controversial, but it's the only way it could work for me.KK, i say the same thing, it is controversial, but i think that "forever" statement makes it a forbidden fruit...when my pdoc made me promise to not drink anymore before she'd give me the sample packs of prozac, my mind got all screwed up and i started drinking daily.
> You all please don't post lots of anti-moderation posts right now. You can later, but I don't feel up to defending it...
don't.
> No more wine, though - it's too tempting. Don't like beer as much, so that way I can have a special Octoberfest beer or some eggnog at Christmas.good.
> Sorry, just thinking aloud.

> Greg A. - you have been a great inspiration. As I recall from doing this before, I mostly felt more in control and had a bit more energy. We'll see.

> - K.i'm not joining the group, but just wanted to add my support. a couple of days ago i took an extra klonopin, a hot bath, and listened to Beethoven's Adagio for Relaxation in candlelight. it took me about 45 min to fall asleep (insomnia scares the hell out of me, i think thats why i get so drunk at night, so i can pass out) but it was very *pleasant* it felt good, i can't remember having such a relaxing experience in a long time.
best wishes to all of you,
