NAILED IT! (in that Hank Moody voice)
Figured out Why I'd been drinking so much this year!
(Yes, Shelly, it was definitely an emotional reason!)
Do I wish to elaborate?
Nope.
It's only important that I know.
It's very personal and emotional.
Feeling proud of myself
Feeling good about myself
Feeling smart
Feeling grateful I can drink but don't want to yet

With The Intention Of Achieving Balance And Control Over Drinking And Being Fully Deprogrammed From CultAA--which I am learning to forgive, and let go of. Research teaches us that 1 out of 3 people are problem drinkers, but 90% of problem drinkers are Not Alcoholics and can change.
My Drinking History: Over four decades of mostly problem drinking, five drunken-related arrests in my 20s (the early 80s), of abstinence and binge-drinking, of trying moderation and usually-or-often failing, of being immersed in almost every other recovery group out there, but of being mostly sober.
