Can I say: "Used to drink everyday, but now I've finished" (as "done with it")

Question

So that's pretty much my question.
It's needed for a rhyme.
I know it sounds better and makes more sense with "im done..", but I was just trying to fit the word "finished" in there for a rhyme scheme.
In case I can't use "finished" I'll just go with "done with it", even though it's going be a lot harder to rhyme my other words ;)

Thank You!

You could use the word "diminished" if the poem doesn't require future abstinence? If it does then "relinquished" might work.

I see you are doing it for the rhyme sake but it still sounds artificial. Maybe you can play around with it and say something along these lines: but now these days are gone or but now I am not the same)))
