To those who took alcohol counseling: at which point did you decide you needed it?

Sober for almost 6 months. I don’t crave alcohol even occasionally anymore but my mind sometimes wonders if I could go back to drinking someday, just on special occasions or socially. I know no one needs booze in life and don’t intend to go back to drinking, but wondering if I should consider alcohol counseling. Advice from those who’ve had it?

I went 6 months on my own, thinking that I was doing ok. Then one day that craving came back, instead of picking up I found a meeting. It was the best decision I ever made. Just putting down the drink didn’t solve my problems. I was still the same person i was when I drank I just wasn’t drunk. I had to make changes in my life and most of the changes had to be done on the inside. I couldn’t do it alone because I had tried that a million times and always got the same results. If your questioning weather you need help or not, I think you already answered your question.
