I felt the same way, Stevie Ray Vaughan sung a song about it, called "life by the drop". Here is a link to those lyrics:

He knew what it was like, to have to let go of that "old friend", as do I, and he died sober, as far as I know. Rest in peace Stevie.
I couldn't see getting through life without it, but, I've learned how to, by taking the suggestions given to me from others who have walked in my shoes, in the rooms of AA.
They told me not to get hung up on the why's and how's of how it got to be so bad, because the answers will come in time. And for me, working the steps, one at a time, and living one day at a time, has given me some of the answers to some of those questions.
