A lot of what you wrote describes me as well....
A professional of good standing, a good father, a good career, a lot of things going for me....
But a strong and increasing tendency toward out of control binge drinking that has worsened over the years and came to include DUI and legal and relationship troubles - all of which I handily rationalized for many years.
I've been down that trying to quit on my own in secret road too... trying to moderate... fighting that battle.... winding up losing it every time.
Congratulations on this step. You don't have to keep doing this, you don't have to continue the cycle.... and you don't have to have a boring, sacrificing, miserable life because of it. In fact, you get to have a far richer, more wonderful, MEMORABLE and rewarding life than ever.
You can do it.
