There's several threads on these forums about stopping before you've hit rock bottom. That was a decision I've made, and yes, my AV is using it against me ("you don't really have a problem, just look how bad things are for some of the other people on here"). But luckily my AV doesn't get to call the shots (or order them), I need to do that, and I've decided not to drink any more.
Just ask yourself, how many people ever deeply regret not getting drunk? How many say "if only I'd had that one for the road". How many people's lives are destroyed by sobriety? The choice seems pretty clear when you look at it that way.
