I am on holiday and I took a week off work to sort out my life away from drink and stress, it's funny but I keep finding myself in pubs more than if I were at home. The big difference though is that I am drinking less and enjoying a drink as a treat rather than a crutch. The problem with drinking is that it is so easy to slip another one in and then just another. I think I may have had a drink problem without actually realising it, now that I accept that I may have had one it is easier to control. I don't feel I am missing out by not drinking and like today, I am going for a run and doing some hill walking, after which I may have a cider in the pub but that will be it. So yes you can have a drink or two like anyone and control the amount you have.
