Michael,
It is absolutely true that you may not be an alcoholic but there is not one reason to be drinking that much liquor. You are killing your insides. I argue with myself on that. I was definitely affecting my health with as much alcohol as I was drinking. I wish I would have done something like quit for 30days. My ordeal was a little more traumatic but whatever it is keeping me from not drinking. You really do need the sober time to reflect on how bad the situation really is. Again good luck and keep reading and posting.
