sounds a lot like my family
my family has a sort of history of substance abuse, my mother was a terrible drug addict & down right evil drunk; my father, just like me however, is a happy & relaxed, but capable drinker 
strangely enough, i don't really have a "craving" for addictive substances, just when i'm bored / want the taste i'll go for them
i can easily go even a few days without a smoke / vape & weeks without a drink, but i don't have a reason to; my days are boring, long (even when short), and either uneventful or too eventful
even when i'd use opiates, i could drop them like a hat
drinking also helps with my PTSD, i have constant nightmares from the nigh 20 years of abuse i suffered from birth via my mother to a few years off now; when i get reasonably drunk, i tend not to dream that much, and while i miss my extremely pleasant dreams that i used to have, all i tend to have these days are nightmares that go on for what feels like days in a single moment, so by all means, not worth it
speaking of taste however, sugar is a substance too many ignore, i've been trying to ween myself off of soda & the like, mostly by at least drinking real sugar sodas, as that can be seen in my previous images 
more & more, i cannot process artificial substances, be it drugs or mere sugars alone
