The name and the email address are inaccurate.  It's an anonymity(sp)
issue.

But besides that, Anyone who has any wisdom that might help me though
my
dilema, should share it on the newsgroup.  I am sure that I am not the
only one who reads this group who is very confused about their
drinking.

It really is rather confusing.  I was told for 90 days that if I ever
drink again, I will get drunk.  Whether it was wise or not, I had
another
drink, and I didn't get drunk.

Who do I believe, everything that I heard and read, or my own
experience?

In fact here I am.  Sitting here pushing words into cyberspace, and I
don't care if I ever have a drink again.

And if I'm watching football tomorrow, and someone says, "Hey Loose!
You
want a beer?" I'd probably say yes.  No BFD.

But how can I do this when every alcoholism professional that I have
ever
talked to or read said,  "If you drink, you will at best ruin your
life,
and at worst die."

I can't be the only exception to the rule.
