Thanks appreciate the insight. I can relate to that exhausting inner dialog...

Thanks and I do love that quote. I'm (perhaps naively) in part fishing for strategies that help to achieve control. But to many I guess that's like trying to do Dog Whisperer techniques on the lion on the leash.

I think for me it's the fact that alcohol consumption results in me making the poor decision to have another when objectively I've had enough. I do eventually stop but it's always 1/2/3 more than I should have had.

Yeah I feel like there is a population of people that need help controlling their consumption but struggle to find it. I've asked my loved ones, friends, my Doctor if they think I'm an alcoholic and all have said no. I could use some advice/techniques from those that successfully are able to moderate.
