I don't drink for the buzz and I don't drink to get drunk - usually...
I drink to improve my mood, I drink cause I like the taste, I drink to quiet the voice in my head reminding me how I've messed up - of course drinking too much just gives the voice something else to complain about tomorrow.
My problem seems to be that I don't have the "off" switch - once I start I just don't stop "normally" like other people (damn social drinkers lol). i have to have rules in place, preset limits, and to stop before it is too late to care about them. I have been able to do it before for pretty long stretches and i am older and more motivated now than i have ever been. We'll see how it goes.
