Drinking gives pleasure, no doubt. That's why I drank for decades.
But it is a trick of the addiction to believe it is the ONLY thing that is pleasurable. Problem is we never look for those other things because we are always drinking. And - OH! - those side effects are murder!
Stop drinking.
Find those other things that you enjoy.
You can do this.
