Do I need outside help?
I have been a weekend drinker for about 11 years. 3 nights a week about 12 beers. It has never affected my work and I never hit rock bottom, but has affected my relationship with my wife. It wasn't the root cause of the relationship issues, but definately contributed to the problems. About 16 days ago, I decided to quit - on my own. I have had no desire to drink. My wife is still concerned and wants me to go to counseling twice a month. How do I know if I truly need outside help? What do I talk about when I feel no pull to alcohol? I realize that I had a problem and believe I know why I was doing it. I have removed those things from my life. I will go to make her happy, but I would like to know if it is worthwhile.
