I have struggled with this question also and then I got to thinking I pretty much only drank after work so that's 2 hours at best since I don't get home till 7PM. I get up at 5AM so that's 14 waking hours of not drinking. And during those 14 hours I do have fun and joy and great conversations and prayer etc.. Especially when I didn't drink the night before. So it began to ring untrue to me that I could no longer have fun or enjoyment because 90% of my day was fun except when I drank the night before. This was a true light bulb moment for me and helped me to see the fallacy of needing wine for anything! Its like at the end of the movie Labyrinth when she says "you have no power over me" with such surprise in that simple truth. Wine you have no power over me!!
