I have a genetic predisposition toward addiction and compulsive behavior. For the past 5 or 6 years, I went through cycles of bing drinking and abstinence. I have it fully under control, but I have to keep myself looking out for the signs that I'm losing control and cut back if I think I'm going overboard. I don't want to hit the point of no return, I have too much fun when I'm drinking and have gotten to the point that I don't regret anything in the morning.
Maybe I'm not "sober and clean," but I no longer black out and hear stories of what an ass I made of myself the night before. That's my personal victory against addiction and destructive behavior.
