I hope that's true, Paprika,
The problem is that most alcoholics think the problem is their job, their relationship, their family, the people they hang out with, the kind of alcohol they drink, etc. Most of them (and I include myself, because I did the same thing when I was drinking) try changing all those things before they finally realize, somehow, some way, that it is the DRINKING that is screwing up their lives.
Hugs, I think a break will be good for you.
