Oh football season was another great excuse to keep getting drunk for me, too! Course, so was a hard day at work, boredom, happiness, sadness, nice weather, terrible weather..
Your post really reminds me about how happy I am that alcohol no longer consumes my thoughts or my life like that. I know you're undecided if you have a problem, or if you want to quit.. and hopefully you make the best decisions about that for yourself... but that was a very clear reminder to me about how much thinking and planning I too used to do when it came to drinking.
