Hey, Scotty. Nice job on the 6 days sober.! I tended to compare my drinking with others, too. Never had a blackout, never drank in the morning, never had withdrawals, never had a driving ticket etc etc. But, I couldn't just not drink when I wanted to either. I tried and tried and tried but would always end up breaking my promise to myself. I think minimizing and comparing had a lot to do with the broken promise.
