this isnt an adversely affected part of daily living:

"I can't seem to stop"
"At the moment every sip is tinged with regret, but I just can't stop, and I need to! "
?????.??????
semms if alcohol wasnt affecting anything in daily life,then this
"I notice that I am way more effective at everything, from social engagement to being productive at work and getting out to exercise."
wouldnt occur.
maybe a wee bit of denial there on what alcohol is doing to and for you?
To a point but I think it's more a case of emerging from a state of denial as opposed to entering or living fully in one. That was kind of the implied point, though... To which end, no booze today!
