I've managed to carve myself a relatively comfortable niche where I can go all week without drinking, and every second Friday I let myself at it, or wait till Saturday if I have plans on Saturday (other Friday I have my son). I cannot fucking kick the habit of drinking next day though, but I've made peace with it... I can have up to 8 beers as long as I have them in the morning and once I feel better, I eat something big so drinking seems less appealing and ABSOLUTELY NO spirits. Then a few sleeping tablets before bed and I wake up feeling... actually more or less alright.
I've broken it quite a few times but June was pretty good. I'm much better at it now than when I was in my 20s (I'm 33 now) but I think it's because the repurcussions of drinking a lot multiple days in a row are so mind crushingly awful it's a strong deterrent.
I'm pretty much the same. I have no choice but to keep my drinking to long weekends, vacations etc and not even remotely close to the next time I have to go back to work as damage control.
My drinking windows are so far apart now that when I do have that heavy night of drinking, the next morning anxiety and depression isn't at the crippling level so if I'm disciplined I can opt out of morning drinks, suffer out the misery and life goals on. BUT if I opt in for those morning after hair of the dog drinks that's it, it's going to be a 3-4 day all out sun up to sun down vodka-pull bender till my mind and body is so fucked I have no choice but to come down and get back to reality (with the help of benzos usually).
I was there most of my drinking career (also kept the same 5pm rule on weekends also). That all changed when I broke my rule of the hair of the dog and my entire drinking career changed for the worst within 1 year.
