It sounds like it's not too much of an issue for you yet, but you do see the affects drinking/drugs has on you. It's good that you are able to sense this before it has a chance to take hold of you. I was an alcoholic/addict for many many years and remember laughing it off when ex-addicts or recovering alcoholics would tell me that they were so much happier when they'd quit. Now I understand what they meant. Though I'm wondering if there's ever a possibility for us obsessive-addicts type to be able to reach a comfortable and well-balanced place where we can enjoy a drink or two without everything spiraling out into madness. Probably not...
