"It may sound weird, but I feel that as long as there's no real health issues (for the moment, except some pain in my stomach, and lots of sleepless nights, there's nothing), or some kind of spectacular drama involving alcohol, the people around me wouldn't understand why I'd quit."

You're right , that does sound weird , how much does your health have to suffer or how big a drama do you have to suffer before they would consider your drinking a problem ? What are you willing to risk ? a "little" bit of chirrosis ? high blood pressure / potential stroke ?

Other drunk people are pritty poor judges of whats good for you or not . The only balance i could find after several years of risking my life was complete abstinance .

Although difficult , for me it was a simple decision ,you see i'm an alcoholic , with every drink or temptaion i refuse i am infact choosing to live and have a life , my new sober life means everything to me .

I hope you find what's right for you , good luck . M
