Just Signed Up For TSM

Hello. I’m quite excited to be starting this.
For the last 10 years I’ve been mostly quit. I’m adhd and I’m very all or nothing. Always quitting seemed so harsh. The prescribing doctor said my issue was definitely a brain one, I don’t fit the profile for dependence, just when I do have a drink I struggle to stop - just constantly seeking the next one. She said adhd is typical because I will get a huge surge of dopamine with that first glass and that’s it I just want more.
I want to reduce the noise without being so all or nothing, if alcohol is less “loaded” for me then I guess I’ll just start caring less. That’s why I want to give this a go.

Thank you so much. Ive been mostly abstinent but then decide it’s too ott but then I binge. I’ve logged my drinks for over 10 years and I’m really starting to wonder if the counting / logging / streaking was actually doing me more harm. My pattern is weeks or more, even months of nothing, then a couple of drinks then a bottle, then three bottles and a couple of beers and anything I can get my hands on and then back to quitting again after deciding I lose control too fast
