I, too, have had extended periods of not drinking. Three, in fact, of at least a year. I understand your last statement JJJ. Each time, I felt like I "needed" to quit due to excess drinking. But, during that time, I never felt any more effective. I actually did feel better physically, but I was also running and working out, and I think I feel pretty good when I do that whether I'm drinking or not.
I do find now that I drink in moderation, as others have suggested and feel that it is not the alcohol that inhibits our personal development/effectiveness, it is the other choices we make outside of that.
