I dipped my toes into p severe alcoholism and I was -not- able to stay in control. I may have thought I was, but I was just deluding myself.

I have really bad childhood memories associated with my mother's alcoholism. I generally avoid drinking as much as possible bc of that. I know that I am able to control myself with booze for the most part, but there's that voice in the back of my head that reminds me it's in my DNA. Because of that I mainly use alcohol as a tool (one drink for mild social anxiety, maybe two if I need to get to sleep)

Gotcha, that's not too uncommon. I've talked to plenty if alcoholics who can't control their consumption at all.
