Listen to your own inner voice.
If you drink for a couple days and then not drink for the week, what are your plans for that "drinking" day or days? People who don't have a problem with alcohol can drink one or two and then that's enough for them.
I wouldn't necessarily say the counselor didn't give you what you wanted...if you want to keep drinking, she can't stop you from that.
What do you want? If alcohol is causing you problems, the solution is to stop.
