More DescriptionI liked alcohol. I liked how I felt when I drank alcohol. If I was happy, upset, visiting friends or alone I liked to drink.I didn't think I had a problem, even though friends and family would tell me I had a problem. My solution to that was to just cut people out of my life for a while if they couldn't handle my drinking.I did try to have a few drinks, then stop after a few but it never seemed to work out for me. But I always told myself the lie "that I could control my drinking if I wanted to."I drank off and on--some years very heavily---until I quit 25 years ago. I live a productive life now and never even entertain the thought of drinking.I'm so happy to be done with alcohol. There isn't a choice anymore.I used to drink, now I don't...and I don't miss it at all.
