I am incredibly proud to say that I am 277 days sober from whippets today! I still think about them but think about how much happier I am without them and am able to continue on. I have however, noticed I have been binge drinking more regularly, like twice a week on Friday and Saturday nights. I’m probably having around 20oz of tequila over the 2 days. I told my therapist today that I am most definitely a binge drinker but don’t think I am at alcoholic level yet and she agreed. I do however, feel paranoid about my health and would like to drink less. I would love if I could keep it to 3 drinks once a week and I’m wondering if anyone has ideas on how to moderate alcohol consumption? I don’t have any current health problems but I am scared for my future as I just turned 29 and I don’t want to enter my 30’s with any issues. I also am trying to lose weight and recognize that all my hard work vanishes when I drink so heavily and subsequently binge eat on these nights as well. Any support or advice would be much appreciated but honestly, just letting it all out here feels much more honest and relieving

Congratulations on 277 days sober from whippets.
The only healthy amount of alcohol to consume is zero… just facts. I don’t believe you’ll find people here who have successfully been able to moderate. Now is the time to be honest with yourself about your ability to moderate. Set a goal and see if you can stick with it, if you cannot it’s a real bad sign of things to come should you continue down that path. Best wishes to you
