I understand the drinking to deal with company. I have done that myself, by myself off and on for years. I would rather drink alone tho.
I have it under control compared with a couple of years ago. I cut down to wine instead of vodka because I would be drunk before I knew it. The wine just takes the edge off, but if I am not careful I will binge drink and I am afraid of that.
I would like any suggestions to just quit any more than I do now. Like I say I am not at all close to being the drinker that I was, but I still get the urge.

Sometimes I can go weeks, but get it on my mind and that's that for me.

My husband thinks that I have a problem, but he doesn't think of me as an alcoholic. He drinks NOTHING, so it is a solitary thing for me if I want to drink. I drink when he isn't home or just go have a couple of quick glasses and brush my teeth so he doesn't notice. That says that there is a problem. I feel like I am getting away with something if he doesn't know and he really is my best friend. So I don't understand my doing it even. Sometimes it is social anxiety with me. But I can't get outof hand , this has happened and I have really been embaressed (?) when I hear of things I did without knowing. That is why I cut out the hard stuff. Maybe we can help each other with this "Empty" drinking for no reason when we can do without it for a while.
