Lorne has some good points.
I would have probably never gone into recovery if people had been "supportive" of me. Most people I know wouldn't have either.
It takes facing the hard truth to get the strength to fight that battle.
Each and every time you go out for a few you end up lise this, right? Doesn't that tell you that you can't have just one or two? That you have to completely abstain?
The counselors where I went for recovery say there are only three ways out of addiction. Death, prison or recovery. Those be the facts. It is up to you to decide which route you want to take.
