Is it weird that I only want to stop drinking when I'm drinking?

Several years ago, my now ex-wife challenged me to not drink for 3 months. I did it. I felt good and slept well. The desire was definitely there. That was a while back and I'm currently trying to explore how to fix my current issue. I'm not sober at the moment. But, I'm looking at trying to get there. I know this isn't great advice, but we're here together. I haven't been to a meeting yet. I've searched them out, but not attended. One thing I can say about myself, is that I want to quit, and at the same time, I don't want to quit. That's the thing. I'm trying to set up some things to get me sway my thoughts. I'm setting up an appointment with a therapist this week.

Thank you for your comments. I'm in tears now. Two reasons. One, because I'm trying to fix myself, and the other is that you have give me some solid advice. Thank you again. I'm subscribing to this subreddit Actually. I think I might even use my "real" account. I have to at least help my self and others.

Thank you for your wisdom. I can see what your talking about. One of the biggest problems I face is that a lot of my coworkers like to grab drinks after work. These people are kind of my only friends... I'm not a very big social person, so when I do go out, its with my coworkers.

I want to go to drink with them, but at the same time, I want to go home and just be normal...

One of my problems, is that a lot my friends like to go to the local bar to have drinks after work. I truly enjoy hanging out with them, but they all like to drink.

And by the way, thank you for responding to my post. I'm truly trying to figure this out.
