I've now had six months of complete sobriety. The result: my productivity, my drive, my passion for work have gone down. And no, I don't crave alcohol. I generally don't drink. Most of my life, I could tell you when I had my last drink in terms of "Three years ago at so and so's wedding." But I also drank daily for about a year while very sick and not getting adequate medical care. I hate alcohol. I hate the taste of it. As soon as I had better answers, I pursued those and stopped drinking. I also talked to someone who was drinking extremely heavily and had surgery for some problem and during the surgery they discovered some other organ was beyond salvaging and they removed it. This person felt enormous guilt over their drinking but it likely saved their life. The surgeon was astonished they were still alive given the state of the organ they removed. So, maybe you have some unidentified health issue which would be better treated with something other than alcohol.
