Hows things smary
The only thing that i used to control my drinking that worked was sleep, and then i started using cocaine to control that and then it all started to control me.
Maybe in some peoples drinking it may work, but i believed if i went into a bar i put both feet in the trough and didn't leave till i woke up the next morning.

Absolutely not an option for this alcoholic. It's much easier for me to not drink at all than to think i can drink like non-alcoholics. Yeah, it really sucks sometimes, but now that i'm really beginning to understand that i can't drink AT ALL, it is actually a big relief. Cause now i shouldn't have to contemplate drinking in my head, since i know i just can't drink, period. (I know, easier said than done, but i'm getting better all the time;)
I had the same question, so i tested myself. i decided to define what was my limit, like 2 drinks a day, and see if i could do it. I couldn't. that's what convinced me that i have to stop.
I tried it for years...not possible for this alcoholic.
Hi,
Same here, not possible for me either. The only thing controlled was me. I take a drink then the drink takes me.
Take care.......

Guess it depends on the person. I've tried it too - works for a while but then always end up backsliding. Plus its a struggle - constant struggle.
I'm finding sobriety a struggle too, but hopeful that with time it will get easier.
Only you can know. Try it for a while - see if you can. Best of luck to you

I tried to manage and control my drinking for years and was miserable. When I stopped controlling my drinking I was miserable too. In AA they say go out and try some controlled drinking and if it doesn't work for you, we will all still be here. No, can't do it...one day I was pondering over with my Sister an idea I had (uh-oh an idea, trouble) ~ I thought perhaps I might be able to have a glass of wine now and then...she basically thought I was crazy saying something like that, and told me she never wants to hear clankety, clank on the other side of the telephone at 7:00 am ~ that was my morning pick me upper, warm wine with ice cubes.
Controlled drinking for me meant making sure that I didn't spend too much money on it in one day. If I could get a deal on something I would get it. If my friends were buying, I would drink it. The only thing I had control over was what time I started in the morning. I do not believe that I could ever control it.
