In the end, you only have yourself. If you band mates can't understand that you want to stop drinking, then they may not be the best people to be around. Simply tell them you are slowing down( or stopping) for awhile. They need no other explanation.
Best of luck to you
Thank you. I know that someday on the bus or backstage, I'll come back here and read this thread and it should help me.

I guess I'm not exactly there yet, but I shouldn't wait... It's all about fear in the end. It raises so many personal questions.
