Brittany, you are lucky to become aware of your problem before it gets worse. And, I believe simplesyrup is right - for me, the alcohol was a symptom of the problems within me. And, I had to deal with the underlying problems in order to move forward.
I had tried for so long to control my drinking, with great determination. Of course, it controlled me, completely and nearly took me down. The day I knew I had to stop, was such a feeling of freedom for me. I began to reclaim my life.
