No matter what or how much or how often you drink, if you think you have a problem, it's likely you do or you wouldn't be worrying/thinking about it. If you can go without drinking anything for 28 days you may not have a problem, but if you find yourself thinking a lot about it, missing it or planning when you can drink again, then you just may have a problem.

All those bad things that haven't happened to you yet, may happen at any time. I never got a DUI but I was just lucky. I didn't lose my kids, but I lost their respect. I didn't lose my rental home, but I came close from being so far behind in rent. I don't want to chance it happening again, so it's best if I never drink again. I don't miss it either, as the last half year of my short but brilliant drinking career had too much pain and misery from alcohol.

I wish you success in whatever you decide to do. You can get lots of support and information here to help you decide.
