After quiting drinking for 18 years I wondered if I would be able to be a social drinker. After all I learned that I used to drink because I was treating my anxiety.
Then after finding the right anxiety medication I asked a doctor if I could try to have an occational glass of wine. Hey, the anxiety was under control, now I should be able to control my drinking, right?
Within a few years I was back getting smashed, never knowing when one drink would equal 15 or so. Now I'm back to sobriety with a week under my belt.
Moral of the story, it's true that this disease just gets worse with time and I was a fool to think I could be a social drinker. I just hope I don't try to fool myself again.
