I must say, most everyone has been helpful and supportive. It's comforting, in a way, to know I'm not the only one with this problem. I'm glad that some of you have had this problem and were able to overcome it. I believe I can do the same.

For those of you who have said "why drink at all". To that I must answer, I don't know. Everyone has there reasons.

I know I need to pace myself more and if I can't do that I have to quit.

Since I wrote my original post I haven't had a sip of anything. I wanted to try and test myself to see how much I rely on booze in my life. The good news is that I think I could go quite some time w/o a drink. I want to see what happens when I get bogged down with work, hopefully I can stay strong.

I can't tell you all how much help you've been. It's good to get some different opinions or the topic.

Thank you for all your replys and suggestions.
