Hi Arlie and welcome! Lots of good advice here. You wrote:

You will be the one who will drag yourself out of this, with the support of others. Come up with a plan -- whether going to a meeting or talking to a doctor or committing to reading and posting daily here on SR -- and follow through with it. Once you stop drinking, even for a few days, it will get easier. I'm not saying it will be easy. Just start by not drinking for a day. If you find that tough, commit to not drinking for an hour. If that's tough, don't drink for 10 minutes. A lot of us had to start our sobriety with literally a minute-by-minute commitment, but that's the stuff that days and weeks and then months and years of sobriety and happiness are made of. You can do this!
