To anyone thinking "Maybe I can handle my drinking now"

You're your own person and can make your own choices, but before you cross that line, just remember this. It's saved me from going back quite a few times.

*The only guaranteed way that alcohol cannot consume you is for you to not consume it.*

You've been down this road before, you've seen what it can do to you. Sure, times might be different. You've likely grown as a person, became more self aware, along with much more and that's fantastic!

However, you have to ask yourself and decide if it's worth the risk or not. Yeah, maybe you are that 1% who can go back to safely drinking, but chances are that you're not. Is it worth that risk? You will always have far FAR more to lose than something to gain when it comes to dealing with alcohol or any other hard substance.

Is it truly worth the risk of it all consuming you again?
