Did you ever try diluting your drinks?
If you’ve ever said to yourself and others, maybe I’ll try diluting my drinks so it won’t be so potent and maybe I won’t freak out, black out, or do anything but pass out!
I use to blame it on not eating before/while I drank. It would buy me some time between slip ups and I could still drink. Excuses.
I also thought it was because I was close to my monthly visit from The Lady in Red…
I thought maybe the wine had to much alcohol content.
I’m sure there are some really good excuses out there that I never thought of. They were and are all excuses trying to be in constant denial of not being able to control my drinking.
I finally realized that diluting my drinks was not helping and I eventually came to the same result every time I drank.
Moderation was never for me. Why drink if you aren’t going to get drunk. What’s the point? Why drink?
Diluting, excuses and denial will never help us.

I agree. That thought…why drink if you can’t get drunk…is what stops me from taking the first drink now.
I don’t just want one.
I definitely diluted. And at one time I allowed myself one drink a day max and I often had a shot. Clearly a problem there!

I tried drinking white wine spritsers for a while…that didn’t help I just ended up drinking more drinks and going to the toilet more often. I was never under the dillusion that I was drinking for the taste, I knew full well I wanted the effect. Its easier for me not to drink at all as one drink is such a foreign concept. Like you say…what’s the point?
