I know what you mean. I looked at my evening drink as a 'treat' to myself after a long day.
I've been at this lush thing for a while. When I was expecting my youngest I figured I couldn't have my glass (or two) of wine with dinner anymore. But wine with dinner just seemed so - civilized.
To keep from feeling 'deprived' I would pour myself about a tablespoon into a crystal wine glass.
But I demanded a bottle of scotch after delivery.
A lot of mine was habit, too. That's one of the reasons the 5 weeks of group helped - it was during the time of day that I'd usually be coming home from work, heading to the fridge and popping open a beer (or wine, or vodka.....) Having to be somewhere else helped break the habit part of the drinking.
It'll come if you keep working for it. Understanding is a huge part of the battle.
