Thankfully(?), I've reached a somewhat symbiotic relationship with my functional alcoholism. Drunk me does the laundry and empties the dishwasher, and sober me no longer nags drunk me for drinking so much.
functional alcoholism
bruh I hate to break it to you...
I accept that. lol
OTOH, that's pretty much the only reason I made it through 2016-2020 with my sanity intact. Now 2025 rolls around and....ugh.
I just want to offer the perspective that maybe your sanity stayed exactly the same you just don't look at it when drunk.

Hey, I've seen you posting/commenting hits here for the last year and a half, I like you sober. Sober you is cool.
Have you tried going to the meetings yet?
If it gets to the point I think I need to, I would give it a go.
This isn't the most cliche thing I could say (it is the cliche), but I can and do stop when I want to. Every few weeks, I'll go 2, 3, or 4 weeks without even a drop. Mostly just as a self-check to make sure I can. If I ever can't (yet to happen), then that's my notice that I have a real problem rather than one I joke about on the internet.
I do drink a lot and technically fall under textbook definition, but I don't hide bottles around the office, drink during the day, or feel like I have to have a drink to get through anything.
That's a little like saying you'll get the brakes checked after you have an accident.
Next time you decide to stop, why not go to the meetings? They have them online, 24/7. At worst, you'll hear some wild stories.
Sometimes, they have fresh donuts. Jussayin
You’re using the same flawed logic I to to tell me I’ve got no real problem.
However I spin it though, the booze really inhibits my happiness in a bunch of ways.
If you quit again, even for just a few weeks, and need an accountability buddy, hit me up.
