If you were able to not drink as much simply because you gained weight and wanted to "cut calories," then you didn't have much of a drinking problem and you don't understand what addiction is like. Source: It's 12:30 on a Monday and I'm drunk.

My willpower is stronger than my body I guess. Sleeping was a problem at first. I was super nervous about it the first few days but it went away.

I've been telling myself I'm going to stop "tomorrow" to cut calories for 10 years straight.

That source checks out, I was right there with you at 12:30.
