Welcome to SR!
Drinking nearly ruined my life. My wife and I spent all our money on booze, and I didn't have a job. We both quit drinking 82 days ago, and things are looking much better.
We go to AA and NA meetings several times a week, sometimes together. My wife goes to the women's meeting, and I go to a meeting at a church that she doesn't like. We both have sponsors, who give us personal help.
