No, I had been sober a couple of years when the camp fire happened. Many of my friends wondered why I quit. I could always function, but ultimately lacked the self control to enjoy a few pints and too often ended up regretting the whole experience.

I'm with you. I never "drink" but i love taste testing craft beers once in awhile, just like 3-4oz & done. Never drink a whole beer & you'll be 100% fine... plus you get to sample yummy goodness. AA rules are b.s. you certainly can have a sip here & there ;-)

In all seriousness, the biggest hurdle to quitting drinking for me was admitting to myself and others that I was an alcoholic. It's not easy. I tried several times to moderate my drinking before admitting the obvious...blinded by my own ego I guess. I also had a hard time visualizing a hearty social life in my future. Often worrying what others might think. All silly in retrospect. Although my social circles did change, and not all by choice.

Jack London wrote about the subject extensively in John Barelycorn. Giving an in depth description from his own personal experiences; the social intricacies; the phycolgical, and the physical horrors of drinking in our society. After all he would know, he drank himself to death at forty two years of age. Much of what he wrote a century ago still rings true to this day. It's too bad he couldn't take better advice from his own cautions. But at the end of the day, we're all just human.
