GBL my first post too..your post echoes my 'descent' almost exactly. Married, kids,good job but a reliance on getting drunk every night...27 years drinking..spending 20% of the households disposable income on drink,hungover until 3pm every day,missed promotion opportunties because I thought it would take me out of my comfort zone,upset stomach every day,hiding the evidence, hiding my stash of booze in the car boot..it goes on
Im now 30 days in, done it my own, first week was terrible..weekends are awful..my current addiction is now copious amounts of chilled fizzy mineral water with fruit juice...but the benefits of quitting are amazing
More money, more energy,people at work noticing a dramatic change in my behaviour..red blotches on my face have gone,stomach has settled down, short term memory is better..
stick with it pal,my battle isnt won and I doubt it ever will be..
