Welcome Grad ~ you are not alone. The same thing happened to me; my tolerance level heightened, weekends turned into every other day, then every day and then wine was not enough - I "graduated" to vodka.
Support is crucial in readjusting from a life with alcohol to a life in recovery. So is knowledge about how to do it.
My life was saved by the support of a licensed alcoholism counselor (LADAC) who was also in recovery himself.
It was one-on-one...he helped me understand what was going on with me and gave me the tools on how to readjust my life to one that didn't require alcohol as a crutch for stress and thinking it was the only way to celebrate.
I found him through my community rehab facility. It was outpatient; one night per week for an hour (flexible) and even on a sliding pay scale.
You'll find tremendous support here too. Glad you're with us.
