Oh. Come on Down…
You know as well as anyone that moderation is a false goal. It never works. If we start drinking the old behavior will just reasserts itself all over again. We can disagree on what path is the wisest to take, but for an alcoholic to drink, it just restarts all the heartache that brought them here in the first place.
If one identifies themselves as an alcoholic, they are an alcoholic for the rest of their lives and they can never drink safely again. Not ever. And even if we don’t like it, that is the black and white truth for us.
Your friend
