I went through a phase, too, where I found myself drinking more.
(((justjo))) - have you tried anything like Al-Anon or some sort of support group? Sounds to me like it really is time for some justjo time only. When I was willing to take care of everything for everyone, well, everyone came to me to take care of things. It actually makes sense now that I look back on it.
It was taking the first steps that had me frozen for quite a time. It was overwhelming, with everything else I believed I had to take on, and I couldn't imagine anything new someone could show me that would get me out of my rut. I truly believed my life was on its preordained path.
Keep posting - you have tons of support here.
