It may seem silly to think on those terms, but it indeed helped me when I shifted from "i'm drinking because I want to forget everything" to "i'm drinking because I just want to enjoy this moment"
It took a few years for that transition to really occur and I still have slip ups here and there.
Just my unrequested .02 on the subject.
Hope you find it in you to keep your habit in check, fuzz.

That's an excellent point, thanks. It's kind of what I've been realizing too. I use alcohol as a crutch and lately its' been an escape and it's no way to be. I think back to when I started and it was celebrating the moment. There was a fundamental difference.
I quit for a bit earlier in the summer, but then drank for fun occasions and before I knew it I was drinking every day again. So I guess just trying to find a healthy balance is going to be the difficult part. I think in time I can swing it though.
