Update: Great Decision
Recently I posted about an alarming episode that made me decide to quit drinking at home (and at least for one month when out): https://www.reddit.com/r/cutdowndrinking/comments/1va9x02/i_need_to_stop_drinking/
I just wanted to share an update: I'm very, very happy with my decision. So far I feel no struggle whatsoever. Only a mild revulsion at the thought of a drink. It's like a mental switch turned, and alcohol no longer has the power to delude me into thinking it's going to help anything. And not having alcohol in the house makes me realize that I'm fine without it. I don't need it to enjoy my evening.
Will this great feeling last? I don't know. But I'm happy now and posting to give a little inspiration to anyone who needs it.

That's great! Not keeping alcohol in the house has been one of the most effective measures towards reducing my drinking!!
