Hey, your story is similar to mines. Even moving out of state with wife etc.. I used to stay with her on campus and I was so bored I drank alot.
Yea Im a manageable drinker to. i drink alot "when" I'm social drinking, but when Im alone I usually may have a 6pack or more on some nights.
I'm on a 3o day withdraw. My plan is to cut down.. Only drink "socially" lightly....o knows, I might go 3 months sometimes without drinking,
I'm not hooked to the point where I need to "STOP" but I do need to get it under control....
WOW craazy. As I was typing this, I just pictured a 24 oz can of beer and my mind was telling my body to get up and go get some beer. I jumped for a minute like I was getting up to go to store.. Yea,, see its all out of habits for me...
When I drive home from work sometimes I will pull into a party store or gas station thinking Im going to get some beer then I realize Im stop drinking..
Be safe and good luck
