Pretty much my story exactly. I've been going 2 or 3 days a week without lately though. The alcoholism creeps up on you. I'm never drunk per se, but I'm almost always buzzed before bed. I'm trying to cut it out though.

The first time I quit was cold turkey and i had insane night terrors. I relapsed after my father passed, and the last time I quit i stepped down a few beers every night, drinking progressively smaller Miller Lite Tallboys (they have like 4 damn sizes) till i completely quit and started drinking Nonalcoholic IPAs as a reward instead of drinking them because i NEEDED them. Its not easy, but its possible! And i love having a Nonalcoholic beer every other weekend or so.
