John, I gotta be honest and say that this sounds like a mountain of denial to me. Drinking "not much" is still drinking. And you also say you are drinking so little that you don't know why you bother, but then in the same sentence you need to use going back to work as an incentive to quit.
I don't say this to call you out by any means, but you've been here on SR a long, long time and should recognize what I'm suggesting. You'd likely give exactly the same advice to others, and you have before many times.
