I had a problem with self-awareness, not self-control. I thought I would be fine and could control myself so didn't really think about how much I was getting used to drinking. But it's frighteningly slippery slope. So, I was trying to allude to that. And, self-control isn't binary, it's a continuum: I thought myself as having lots of self-control, but I slipped into drinking way too much by starting with the habit of drinking regularly. Anyway, once I was aware as to how much really I was drinking, I stopped. Cold turkey. So I think that shows at least some self-control. If my comment makes anyone else re-examine exactly how much they drink consistently, I'm happy regardless of how much you think I'm projecting.
