Bless you, friend. I will pray for your continuing sobriety.
My father quit drinking using the AA method but not actually attending AA. He did it on his own and it was his faith in God that made it possible.
As for me I was on the road to alcoholism. I married and had my first child while starting a business and somehow forgot to drink any longer. First it was just during the week but after a couple years I was no longer drinking on the weekends either. This wasnt a conscious thing but when the wife and I discuss those times we both firmly believe it was our faith in God that set me on the right path.
Now I can drink socially on occasion (less than 4 times a year). As soon as I start feeling the buzz though I am done. I just no longer enjoy the effects. My brother calls me 2 beers. I bring a six pack over to watch a game or something, drink the first one, pour out half of the second one and leave 4 beers behind.
The way you drink now sounds like how drank until about 35. My husband moved out and then in feb 92, I lost my job, my house was burglarized, my divorce was final and my mother died. That started me on the road to drinking strictly for the effect alcohol produced... The thing I had always avoided. AA definitely led me to God and that's the reason I've been able to stay sober all this time. Here's to the sober life! Enjoy love&light
