Af,
Booze is highly addictive. It damages your brain before it ruins your liver.
The anxiety you feel will go away if you stop drinking long enough.
It will come back quickly when you start again.
The crave will never go away.
You must change your life style in order to be happy while not drinking.
Otherwise, you will be sad etc and want to drink again after a while.
I made non drinking friends through excercise.
I developed a non drinking life style.
Alcohol is poison. Don't believe the hype.
