Stay the hell away from alcohol!
I have quit several times, but always fell back because of that same little justifying argument as yours. It was one of my few ways to socialize. The problem is that when you have a few drinks at friday, its easier to have a few at saturday too. And then you keep going. When you drink again, you will be reminded of all the good things you associate with it and you'll want to do it more. Considering that your drinking went out of control I assume that you have an addictive personality, and this will make it nearly impossible to keep a healthy frequence if you get the "taste for it".
From personal experience, I'd say keep away from it.
Before, I used to struggle to quit. Now I still struggle with quitting, but this time FOR GOOD.
Thanks for the advice. You're one of the only people here who knows where I'm coming from, I remember you posting before about using heroin. I struggled to quit morphine for a few years, and then ended up using alcohol to replace it. You just may have kept me sober with your post, thanks
