Also, my concern with your post is that even though right now you are hoping once you dry out you will see how pointless drinking is, usually the urge and craving returns once someone has gone some time without it. I would think you would have to do something active in your recovery to achieve that feeling towards alcohol.
My dad's not an alcoholic, but I'm not gonna be sitting downstairs drinking myself to sleep on a Tuesday while he's in my house.
I don't know about the returned cravings, but I think much more clearly after a few dry days. One of my biggest issues is that my hangovers tend to enable another night of drinking. The further I get away from that the better I feel. Then again, WTF do I know?
