Most of my overthinking was about how to eliminate the problems drinking was causing without eliminating the drinking.
The other members here who had problems with alcohol suggested it would be simpler and produce better results if I would just stop drinking, but I didn't believe them. They weren't as smart as me. They didn't need to drink to feel better like I did. I was different, so I needed a different solution. I just needed to think and think and think until I came up with one.
