Thankfully(?), I've reached a somewhat symbiotic relationship with my functional alcoholism. Drunk me does the laundry and empties the dishwasher, and sober me no longer nags drunk me for drinking so much.

    I accept that. lol

    OTOH, that's pretty much the only reason I made it through 2016-2020 with my sanity intact. Now 2025 rolls around and....ugh.

    If it gets to the point I think I need to, I would give it a go.

    This isn't the most cliche thing I could say (it is the cliche), but I can and do stop when I want to. Every few weeks, I'll go 2, 3, or 4 weeks without even a drop. Mostly just as a self-check to make sure I can. If I ever can't (yet to happen), then that's my notice that I have a real problem rather than one I joke about on the internet.

    I do drink a lot and technically fall under textbook definition, but I don't hide bottles around the office, drink during the day, or feel like I have to have a drink to get through anything.

    You’re using the same flawed logic I to to tell me I’ve got no real problem.

    However I spin it though, the booze really inhibits my happiness in a bunch of ways.

    If you quit again, even for just a few weeks, and need an accountability buddy, hit me up.
