Uh, no you don't. You have life going on. Everything you posted after this is just life going on. Your reaction to life is what is unmanageable. It seems like all that stuff going on is really your problem. But, I think you have just one problem. Untreated alcoholism. As long as that remains your problem, life will continue to seemingly dominate you with its circumstances.

That was pretty bold and up front preaching from me, Harry. I actually feel a lot more sympathetic than it indicates. I've been where you are right now, where all this stuff seemed conspired against me to keep me drinking. I'd run around trying to keep everything in my life together, and thereby avoid looking at my real problem. My real problem was that I was an alcoholic. There is a treatment for this condition, but only if you can take a look at the real problem.

Once that problem got solved, as the result of taking specific, precise actions that were suggested to me, the rest of life got real easy.
