I agree. It is just an unnecessary temptation. It's easier to pick up if you have it around the house. If you are trying to quit then there is no reason to have that temptation where it is accessible any more than necessary. It does get easier to deal with that temptation over time, but early on I would suggest getting rid of the booze.
