What frustrates me is that I know I don't need it at all.
Apart from when you have bad withdrawals (where it's a physical need for alcohol), I think it's 99% all mental/psychological.
I haven't drank since last Saturday, so that's 8 days. Which is nothing, I don't expect a round of applause for it.
But in that period I can *honestly* say that I haven't missed it or wished I had alcohol in the house.
That's what frustrates me. Because I know what always happens is that I think "ok i'll have a drink now and it'll be fine" and that more often than not leads to daily drinking.
