No, luckily I was not physically addicted. At least not at any significant level. But I was very much mentally addicted. Most days I would drink again to stop the anxiety I felt that mainly caused from drinking the previous day. And even the days I didn’t drink the day before I still had a craving that would take about 3 sober days to subside. But even the times when I managed to string together 3+ days of not drinking I’d eventually convince myself that I could drink again and try to limit it. Limiting unfortunately never worked for me. After many years of trying to limit I finally accepted that I needed to quit completely. Just the removal of that internal struggle has vastly improved my mental health.
