I'm really strugging with this at the moment. I wouldn't call myself an alcoholic but I do have physical withdrawals and haven't gone a day without drinking (except when in hospital) for the last 3 years or so. I'm really feeling the physical effects of it now and trying to moderate without much success. I haven't managed one 24 hour period alcohol-free, which is kind of disheartening, but occasionally I do have day where the intake is less. I've been trying different methods/plans/programs - HAMS, SMART etc. - I think I'm just low on willpower though. Nice to have a thread to talk about it. Thanks @Bubbles3

Thanks @Bubbles3. I wish now that I'd not started again after I left hospital the last time - about 18 months ago. At the time, I wasn't thinking that I had a problem with it. Even though I was hugely excited to get out so I could have a drink, it didn't click with me.
@Sahara I don't want to have to live without it either. I guess that's why I keep struggling to moderate. Don't know if I could live without it but also don't think I want to. It's causing me a lot of problems though.
