JSM --
That is what I thought too. I was similar to you in that I hadn't had all the "problems" such as DUIs, lost homes, lost families, etc. And so, I didn't stop drinking.
But, when I finally hit my bottom and got into a program of recovery, that is where I learned that I really did have problems. Because I was self-medicating with alcohol, I wasn't growing anymore. I was stagnating in my life and not developing as a human being.
Keep in mind that the phase of drinking where the "alcohol doesn't even do it for us anymore" - is a late stage of alcoholism. It just goes down fast from there. Remember: No problems YET.
Please keep reading SR. I won't be able to convince you, as only you can do that for yourself. You can avoid the pain of what comes next; but you have to want it for yourself.
