All I can suggest is read a ton of threads here on the forum. If anything resonates, if you get the sense that you have a drinking problem, perhaps you'll motivate yourself.
I can say this. If you have a problem with alcohol, it will get worse.
I know I have a problem and have known it for several years. I also realize that,change must come from me. I meant I was looking for help from those in the forum, not for some type of magic.
