I may be crazy, but please don't judge. I kind of need guidance and help.

I feel ridiculous starting a post about this, but I have a dilemma. I'm a frequent drinker (just beer, not liquor), but I have a terrible habit of drinking almost every night. I'm very interested in lucid dreaming and I want to continue learning and experiencing everything involved. I find alcohol deters me from being able to gain control. I have random instances where I remember some things.. I try my best to record them and keep track, but sometimes I can't remember everything.. and it really bothers me.

I'm just wondering if anyone else drinks.. and if so, what are your techniques on improving and maintaining lucidity? It IS a terrible habit (I know) and I'm sure the only TRUE solution is to quit drinking completely.. but I just want to know if anyone else is going through this, too.
