Andy--I was similar-difference-I drank only when things were good for years (all well with finances, no emotional pain over anything, and a beautiful day). Drinking would sabotage this immediately. I would stop, and then feel all that beauty and promise again, think I can handle it, and just have one (right.) I repeated this roller coaster for many years. I remember thinking since I don't drink when things are bad (to drown my feelings) In fact, just the opposite (I knew alcohol would exacerbate my sad emotions)--I would ask myself the same question you are. "Why am I drinking when things are GOOD?" Me thinks I was self-sabotaging. Things were going great, that can't be right! (subconscious) let's get back to misery where you are comfortable." Eventually, I began drinking when things got bad to numb the emotions. Wow.

Stick around as they say. It gets soooo much better if you give it a fighting chance!
