Tired of feeling like this...

Hello everyone. I'm 38, and have drank too much for as long as I can remember. I'm sick of feeling like this, sick of hangovers and feeling ashamed. At the moment I only drink on the weekends, but it's binge drinking, far too much. My husband (who I love with all my heart) is also a heavy drinker and I think we've both been kidding ourselves that our bodies can take these weekend binges. Both our fathers were alcoholics, my husband's dad died at the age of 64 after years of serious health problems. My dad, currently 67, is awaiting a quadruple heart bypass and has just found out he also has a tumour in his stomach. He gave up alcohol two years ago, but it was obviously too late. Life has caught up with him, or should I say lifestyle.

The thing is, I don't want to end up like that. I'm worried that at 38 it's too late and I've done too much damage to my body already. I need to stop though,but I don't know if I'm strong enough :-(

Advice and help please
