[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just remember it doesn't have to all or nothing.

You must learn to drink moderately.

Abstaining entirely is only for those with severe medical problems that would dictate it, or for the really addictive personality types who cannot control their urges. You will know which you are after a few months of abstinence and then having a drink.

This is horrible advice from a person who is ignorant, at best, and probably a troll. OP, if you want to quit, quit. You can never drink again. It's okay. You don't have to test it, you don't have to learn moderation, you can just decide that you and booze aren't compatible anymore and not drink.

Abstaining entirely is for people who choose to abstain entirely, whatever their reasons, and you don't need anyone's approval or understanding. You'll get a lot of pushback, mostly from people who don't want to confront their own drinking habits. People like PP are most likely alcoholics who are in the "bargaining" phase of their addiction. "I'm not an alcoholic because I can go for a few months without it and then just have one" - most alcoholics, before they accepted the true nature of their relationship to alcohol[/quote]
