I'm only kidding myself if I think for one second I could drink on occasion, I realise it would only end on a downward spiral to where I was before, like Dee said it becomes an existence when it gets out of control and latterly I was spending my days worrying if I had enough beer in my fridge or if I have enough money to drop by the store on the way home, it us not a nice feeling to be at the mercy of something you cannot control which means I had two options only, keep drinking or stop drinking, there is no middle ground for me personally.

I found it much easier to live sober at about three months. That was also the time in my sobriety that I started practicing gratitude regularly. 
That made a lot of difference. Just counting my blessings took away any desire to drink, as it brought home the notion of how much I would lose if I drank again.
Try gratitude. It makes me feel good to be grateful.
