If you didn't drink today you're a winner after all that's all we really have. Mark Twain was asked if he ever quit smoking and he said "It's easy to quit smoking, I've done it a 1000 times"

Flying,
I am just wrapping up 8 days dry. I have done this before, and always go back to drinking. Usually small at first - just a cocktail before dinner, or a single glass of wine. But then I ramp up over time. Need more, as you say, to get the same effect. I am NEVER happy with myself the next day. So why, why, why do I feel like I still want to try "moderation" when my goal of 10 days is up? It's a head game. Obviously, it's the addiction speaking. I am right there with you.
