I'm glad you are here. Yes, it can get a whole lot worse if you continue to drink. But the good news is by stopping drinking, it can and will get better. It will get different before it gets better but the best is yet to be.
Nothing really huge happened for me, no arrests or anything like that. However, one day I became surer than sure that if I continued my drinking, I'd be going to jail or worse. It was impending unless I stopped. It is the progressive nature of the beast to get worse, never better.
You are very blessed to realize that your drinking is causing you problems and are taking action to do something about it.
Stick around!
