I'm a recovering alcoholic, sober for 13 years. By the time you begin wondering if you have a problem with alcohol and think about "controlling" your drinking......alcohol is already controlling you. Alcohol is powerful and will eventually bring you as low as you can go. It is a disease that tells you that you don't have a disease. Nobody WANTS to go to AA. I often hear people say "AA is not for me" I tried everything for years to try to stop drinking. I would always relapse. Finally I dragged myself into AA as a last resort and it worked.

Here is the easy part. You only have to stop drinking for today. one day at a time.
