I'm only on Day 5, so take this with a grain of salt, but I would suggest figuring out if you really want to stop drinking or not. If you're trying and keep finding excuses, maybe that tells you something...even if you want to stop, cut back, etc. you're not able to. And you feel better when you don't drink, yet you continue. I can completely relate to those feelings, but I'm an alcoholic. If you think you're an alcoholic too, you may want to consider taking a break from drinking events and making a decision about whether you're going to stop drinking or not. Take care.
