Hmm. ...good luck with that. It is the great obsession of every abnormal drinker to be able to control and enjoy their drinking.

As for going into bars while newly trying to stop drinking, it's been said that if you hang out in barber shops, you will eventually get a haircut. .... I think you can figure the rest out.

As others have said, do try to go to a few AA meetings to see how you identify. Keep talking! You've made a terrific start.
