Wow, what an awesome, mind opening topic. I say recovery comes first, you take care of getting yourself back into life before alcohol, the rest falls into place. Lots of great comments here.
OK, for me, I wasn't a binge drinker, I drank to maintain. But your body, mine included, can't maintain a bottle of booze every day. Kidneys and liver shut down. Spent 5 weeks on a kidney machine every other day. God gave me a gift, kidneys started working again. Went home, got back on my feet and a new job, but after 3 years, it grabbed me again. "It's OK, I can just have one" Nope, unless that meant one bottle. Now I'm back to 72 days. It's not easy, but it's well worth it.
