I've been through this. Took ages to turn it around. I still have activities that i used to drink with that i have that compulsion to have 'a couple' which in the past would inevitably turn into lots. Like playing pool, watching football, bbq's and such. I used to wonder what the point of alcohol free booze was, but its really filling that gap for me. Where by habit (or long term addiction i guess) i want to be drinking whilst doing some activities, now i have alcohol free...have a couple and that ticks that box. Around others who are mega drinking is a bit of an issue, but i try and just escape those situations. best of luck
