i have stopped for weeks on end...because of surgery i had and was on meds.
didnt crave alcohol. But when I start drinking, i usually dont want to stop. (its not all the time, but most that i have blackouts, even after a bottle) and ive seen my sister drink a bottle and handle it just fine,
this plays such mind games.
not sure if we can stop for a certain amount of time that means we are not an alcoholic.
