Drinks - anybody in mylot accustomed to it and tried leaving it?

Tweet

I was a regular drinker some seven - eight years back. Regular drinker in the sense I used to take about 2-3 pegs 3-4 times a week. Sometimes with the friends in the bars sometimes at home drinking alone. But I never went out of control even in the parties. I thought that was the best form of enjoyment with the friends and always believed that one can not enjoy his party fully without drinks. In '03 I suffered some heavy losses in my construction business due to betrayal by my client and I was hard up for cash. I had enough assets but they were unproductive one of my Real Estate Projects was held up for want of funds. Everything was in a mess. At this stage I decided to leave the drinks till the situation gets better to avoid further trouble financially and mentally. This financial problem drew me to a spiritual 'Guru'. My bogged down real estate project was restarted, completed and sold in due course of time. My financial condition Improved substantially. But I did not take up to drinks again. My inclination towards spiritualism helped me in that. Although I drink occasionally when I am with my close friends which may be 2-3 times a year, I never feel like drinking alone even when I dine outside. Is anybody in mylot accustomed to drinking and thought of leaving this habit? Give your version of good and bad parts of drinks.
