I see a lot of the old me in your posts Laura.

It was my cerebral palsy that made my hands shake, my family and friends were wrong to characterise me by my drinking, or to get on my case about it cos many of them drank more than I did.....

It doesn't matter whether they or I was right - the fact is I kept drinking...alcohol was more important to me than the opinions of the people I loved and respected....alcohol was probably a contributing factor in my shakes, but drinking was more important to me than my hands shaking...

If you are as ok with your drinking as you think, then stop. A little deprivation to prove a point shouldn't hurt too much.

If you can't? I hope you get to the point of wanting to stop without losing too much, Laura.
