Welcome to SR, IKneedaBreak. I agree with doggonecarl. Alcohol is the alcoholic's worst enemy. Boredom can be an excuse to drink.
I remember wishing I didn't have to leave work to go home. Sending you hugs.
Each alcoholic's 'bottom' is different. Sailorjohn described it well. XAH has not found his bottom yet. He's lost his truck, his own business, a couple great jobs and several decent jobs, and his family. He still doesn't see that he has a problem with alcohol and routinely blames his problems on every one - any one - else.
Remember to take care of yourself. I hope you keep reading and posting here. And please do check out Alanon, they're a great support too.
