100% - I used to think this, too. First, it was just to relax or maybe loosen up at an event - maybe a quiet Saturday night made better with a drink in hand. But then - then it became more, much more. And I couldn't imagine NOT having it. Then came a parade of problems - during many of which, I kept on drinking - until finally, I asked for help... and accepted the help... and got on a new, alcohol-free path. Best decision ever. And I don't miss the drinking days.
