but I can no longer be the person who likes IPAs or who is a fan of (insert whatever) brewery. It's hard to suddenly give these things up because they've become such a part of who I am.
think about your eulogy or your gravestone....is ^^^^ what you want it to say? maybe think about what ELSE is awesome about you.....that has nothing to do with the type of beer you like?

While I'm NOT saying that people who have experienced any of those things have it easy, I do think it makes it very black and white.
It took me 20 years of pain and misery to myself and those I loved before I finally accepted that alcohol and I had a fundamentally toxic relationship and that abstinence was the only way for me to live the life I wanted to lead.
You can decide that now or 20 years time, assuming you survive the wait.
I vote for now.
Wikipedia entry or not, 'grey area drinking' sounds like weasel words for a particular kind of denial to me, freshout.
