Can't promise a thing, but am going to try to cut out all alcohol for a month, which I used to do frequently, but haven't for awhile.
Am going to speak with pdoc about why I still have the need to self-medicate with it at times. That is going to be tough - can talk about almost anything, but not that.
I won't commit to "being sober" - it doesn't work with me. I get really rebellious, and I'll be drinking this evening if I deny myself alcohol forever. But I Can commit to Only drinking Very, Very moderately when I start again, a drink at a sitting. I know that's controversial, but it's the only way it could work for me.
You all please don't post lots of anti-moderation posts right now. You can later, but I don't feel up to defending it...
No more wine, though - it's too tempting. Don't like beer as much, so that way I can have a special Octoberfest beer or some eggnog at Christmas.
Sorry, just thinking aloud.
Greg A. - you have been a great inspiration. As I recall from doing this before, I mostly felt more in control and had a bit more energy. We'll see.
Thanks.
- K.
