Stop Drinking

I've been mostly sober for about six months. I was never a heavy drinker, but I got into a habit of drinking three or four beers a day -- every day. (sometimes six or eight) It became a reflex for me to have a few beers after work. Then, when I said to myself, "This isn't healthy" and tried to stop, it was not easy. I kept having beers even when I knew didn't really want to, I was just acting out of habit. That woke me up to the reality that if I went much further down that path, the alcohol would take over more than just my down time. Now I go two or three weeks without any alcohol, an no desire for it; but I do occasionally have a beer with my wife or with freinds. On those occasions only one or two. It's not a habit for me any more. Stop Drinking helped me navigate that. Hearing stories from others, and reading their experiences gives me a feeling of solidarity and helps me continue on a (mostly) sober path.
