Have you tried going to the meetings yet?

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.

That's a little like saying you'll get the brakes checked after you have an accident.

Next time you decide to stop, why not go to the meetings? They have them online, 24/7. At worst, you'll hear some wild stories.

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.
