Was severe albeit functional alcoholic til age 40.AA never worked. What finally worked was harm reduction, moderation management. Medical marijuana became a thing, and just one hit of a pocket pipe of medical grade indica… good for hours. No longer needed to drink a case of beer each night.
1st few years… I’d say, I’ll let myself have 8 beers this year. Next year was 6. Year after,3. By then, triggered addiction cravings stopped happening.
So weird, how overpowering the addiction felt when I was trapped in it.
