I am taking time off from drinking because I have a hard time stopping and wake up to find that I did something really stupid. Sometimes the things I say/do are really bad. I was knocking out 1.75L of vodka in 2 nights but often times as a bender from Fri night through Sundays.
I started drinking really young and did a lot of different drugs frequently from about 16 years old and up which screwed with my inhibitions and sense of "normal"
I'm too much of a control freak. I grew up watching my dad drink and do stupid shit. I just never started. Haven't drunk a drop in my entire life. Don't plan on starting. I have other vices though. I know how hard it can be to stop something you've gotten used to. Its like you said it becomes normal. Thing is you are probibly hurting people around you more than you realize.
I am. I slipped right back. I'm 32 and lost 2 consecutive potential partners over this shit. They were fat though so I don't sweat it much but I gotta get my shit together, man :/
I feel better than I have in a while having not drank this weekend. Walked the dog 4x already, hit the gum and will again today, drove to PA to pick up a bunch of weights and bars for my home gym so I can build it up more, feels good, man!
I don't drink... mmm Chocolate. Maybe ice-cream.

Idk why I'm admitting all this.
It is easy to fall in to and hard to climb out of. Good for you, fren. I know how difficult it can be..

Admitting you have/had a problem is the first step to recovery.
Good luck with your recovery journey and may God carry you when things get rough.

Keep it up, Fren.
It will only get better.
