You sound a lot like me, except I wasn't quite drinking every day yet (2-3 days a week usually). I am not 100% convinced that I am an alcoholic or that I can't drink like "normal" people yet either. I haven't had anything to drink in over a week and I feel great, better than I did drinking. The reasons I wanted to stop drinking (for at least a couple months, maybe forever) is because I want to see who I am without alcohol. Why was I relying on a substance to get me through certain situations and to make me feel better about myself? I want to see who I am and how I react to things. So far, I am really liking the person that I am. I was also concerned about my health and the amount of alcohol I was drinking at a time, as well as the effect alcohol has on the aging process. Maybe take an extended break to find out why you are drinking like this and what your life would be like without it. I can pretty much guarantee it will be better!
