This problem is pretty common here among us…1 drink is too much and 10 is not enough. I got the same problem, and the only solution for me is abstinence !
This community is amazing, you’ll find people like you here, who will understand you, support you, but in the end it’s all in your hands.
I wish you strength

Meetings are also great

I simply stop. Simply is not correct because it wasn’t simple at all 
5 or 6 years ago i quit drinking except during parties or family events. Better than before, but even then, it and I was a mess. So I decided to quit and I became sober, and i found this app. After a few tries I finally stuck to it, and everyone around me know that I’m the one you don’t have to propose alcohol because the answer is “no”.
The fight is on, until my final breath

A big part was finally admitting in clear language that I have a problem with alcohol. I made a list of all the things alcohol had or was actively ruining in my life. The list included how I feel about my addiction and myself when I am drunk and when I am hungover. Part of my acceptance was coming to terms with my belief that my alcoholism is a disease, and the only cure for me is to not drink. Then I accepted that I cannot heal alone. I did online AA meetings and joined a couple online forums. This is the one I have stuck with. I read and post daily as part of my sober work, which is very much grounded in ‘one day at a time.’ I wake up every morning and think of 3 things I am excited about the day. Then I reaffirm my decision to not drink today. I am far from flawless in this thinking, however, so I have tools and methods in those moments where the drunk voice tells me one won’t hurt anything. I drop everything if possible and take a walk. I come here. I get out those lists I wrote about alcohol ruining things and remind myself why one costs everything. The more time passes and this becomes routine, the prouder and happier I feel. I guarantee you being sober is a better life. It’s worth the work.
