Hi there! On my second week of sobriety here. It's amazing how so many of our stories are so similar. I could have posted your post a dozen years ago. But my story that was like your story became a much worse story. The alcohol thing is progressive, just gets worse. Read and post, read and post. It helps a lot. You've taken a great step being here. There are many different treatment options. I've got counseling and AA starts next week.
Welcome!
