If you drank up to 18, then five beers on a whole evening are very moderate. But yeah, for a normie its a lot of course
The clarity I have been given from sobriety: alcohol has given me absolutely nothing. It’s nothing more than a liquid. There is no desire to drink it, nor moderate its use.
@ThePower what has alcohol given you, that you so tightly want to use it?
For me, moderation is the worst saddest option. Because if I succeed at it, I’m irritable, moody, upset, angry, obsessing all the time in between sessions.
Such a sad pitiful existence for me
My message seems not to find the way. Its a pitty.
I dunno, it seems like everyone is mostly agreeing with you, unless I am missing something
Your message may not be resonating with people on here because these are things more appropriate to talk about with your doctor, rather than a sobriety forum.
Promoting the idea of moderation in any form, and talking about how you’re able to stop after 5 beers, doesn’t do anyone any good here.
I absolutely agree. There were times I moderated, but it wasn’t fun. Although I romantise a few drinks, with dinner, like others have said, what I really want is to black out.
I’m also agree its not easy but normal people can’t undrstand this
