Does your drinking interfere with your life in any way? Job? Marriage? Parenting? Do you go on binges or just drink once in awhile? When I was addicted to cocaine I was told I had to stop drinking too. I could not understand why since alcohol was not interfering with my life. My $500 a week coke habit was. I stopped going to the NA meetings because they made me feel weak and a miserable failure. They made all these demands on me. After 3 meetings I stopped. Guess what? I quit the coke cold turkey on my own. I was not going to let it control me. I did not replace it with alcohol, I was never a heavy drinker but do enjoy it and have no intentions or plans to ever give up my only vice. Besides it does not effect my life negatively at all. I'm sharing this because people and society makes judgments on us without knowing all the facts about us. With good intentions they some times make things harder then it has to be. Only you know what you need to do and only you can accomplish whatever it is you need. Good luck to u!
