Hi. I also felt unique for too long also before I realized that alcohol is a progressive disease and will never get any better than it is today. Your moment of weakness is perhaps the best thing done in your life. I needed to get honest with myself about my drinking, not easy when drinking. I went to meetings and said this or that never happened to me and I was told to add the word YET = Your Eligible Too.
Believe me it's far easier to stop drinking now than anytime in the future.
BE WELL
