Hi Jill,
"You are free to continue drinking full blast for the rest of your life. You are also free to stop anytime you wish."
My wife told me that over five years ago, and it was like a light went off in my head. I thought, oh yeah, I created this pattern. I can un-create it.
But it sounds like you still really enjoy drinking, so it's entirely up to you. I don't think it is ever productive to try and talk someone into quitting. Unless they have children. Do you have children?
