I am an early 30 aged man. I have a public job which I can say is a descent one. I am married and have a kid. I can't say I am an alcoholic but in someway my happiness is associated with alcohol. My job requires me to travel a lot and on those days I can do without any drinks. But on my off days I tend to drink like half a bottle of whatever alcohol I desire and the only thing I can say about is I gain happiness from it. On rare occasions I am tipsy. I give my family time and carry out daily chores as usual while at home. On the downside, drinking has made be obese and somewhat ill. But I can't figure out if I want to drop alcohol or not. Because as I said I don't see addiction anywhere in my inclination to alcohol but I derive a strange kind of happiness from it. Can you analyze my situation and give some advice?
