Can totally relate, Mardy
Alcohol eventually just took over so much more of my life than I thought was even possible. Breaking the visous cycle was key.
Still grateful to have found SR April 2010. There's hundreds of us that use this site to get support, and learn to live a healthy, happy, and productive life.
All alcohol-free.
You can too.
Those first few weeks were the toughest for me. One of the most useful things I learned was " don't drink, no matter what" ......even if it's for 5 minutes at a time, an hour at a time , or a day at a time.
After 90 days I started feeling like my "old" self, and could more often see a light and the end of the tunnel; ...so to speak.
Welcome to SR
