I'm sure glad you're here, help.
When I read the Big Book of AA about the 4 general types of alcoholics that it identifies, I see myself as somewhere between types 3 and 4, for what it's worth.
I don't think that your trying to figure out precisely you fit on a scale of alcoholism is a good expenditure of time, except to the extent that it may help you arrive at the conclusion that you need help for your drinking issues.
I only mention this, because you are actively soliciting our advice.
I saw a lot of myself in your original post on this thread.
I hope that grab onto and seize whatever program of recovery that you select, because it sounds like your continued drinking would be a path toward destruction.
The fact that you are on this forum is a pretty good indication that you think trying to recover your life from what alcohol has done to you is a good idea.
Keep us posted as to your progress.
Late stage drinking is certainly no fun.
My life, since I got sober, has been infinitely better than the garbage lifestyle that I was imprisoned in for so many years.
