Do you drink alcohol and sometimes drink way to much? Or have trouble cutting back on how much you drink?

I can admit that I have a tendency to not know when to stop drinking once I am drinking, I don’t consider myself an alcoholic maybe to some people I am , the non drinkers but I don’t drink everyday and can go days without it, so I consider myself more of a binge drinker especially if I am with friends or at an event I tend to drink until I get nicely buzzed , or mainly Fridays after a week of work and occasionally I will go over my limit and get drunk , or if I am dealing with stress or grieving over the loss of a loved one, I don’t know when to stop, I grew up in a family that accepted alcohol to the point it became a learned behavior , my family always had parties and it wouldn’t be a party without beer or booze. My Dad was a full blown alcoholic that drank every day I pretty much surround myself with friends that like to drink as well , so for me to stop drinking completely is scary for me , I think of future events like weddings and parties and think how can I attend them without drinking? A part of me really wants to just cut back and to limit myself so I set up an appointment with Ria Health? Has anyone used them before and got great results? They specialize in helping you cut back on drinking , another reason I am doing this is because my son has gotten overboard and out of control with drinking and smoking weed to the point I really don’t know how to help him and had him admitted into a treatment center , the hardest thing for me and my ex to do , My ex of course blames me for why he is this way and I kind of agree with her to a certain extent cuz he grew up watching me drink on the weekends and being acceptive of having beers but I know it’s not a hundred percent my fault cuz I feel I have more control over it. So for me to admit that I have a problem was hard for me to accept.
