I'll be honest. I figured this out laying awake at 2 am. One off for a special occasion, not daily anymore.

Good on you for cleaning up. I used to do the functional alcoholic thing too. Much better being in control.

Appreciate it mate. AA “friends” didnt approve of me not going cold turkey. But I thought of something they always say. “Drinking is a symptom, not the cause.”

Did some see introspection & made peace with who & what I needed to. Amazingly after handling my shit I didn’t care about drinking anymore.

Same path here. I think this is far healthier since alcohol isn't a boogeyman you live in constant fear of.

Everything has its good & bad aspects. Too much medicine will kill you but take the right amount of poison & it will make you better. Balance is the trick.
