There is the dilemma many of us have faced:
a. A desire to drink safely, but we cannot;
b. A desire to not drink at all because of that, but we cannot stay sober.

Some meetings might be helpful where others would not be, and that can depend upon many things. All of my own A.A. activity today is done online, and here is where you can find varieties of online activity:
Online Intergroup : Alcoholics Anonymous
Online Intergroup : Alcoholics Anonymous
I do try to control the amount like two weeks ago I went out to eat and said I would only drink two, and I did... then last weekend I went out to eat and said I would only have two but afterwards, I got a six pack and drank it...
sometimes I say I will only drink so much but then I lose inhibition and don't care and then drink what I want. I can do it sometimes, but not others..maybe if I'm eating and I get realy full I wont drink anymore...I dk...but thanks for the links for the online meetings
