I've in this current routine for more or less a year.
I asked to see just how deep in the muck you were in. In the grand scheme of things...fairly light. Ultimately you will have to stop for yourself. Quitting for reasons other than yourself will be temporary (usually), but right behind you, I'd say you have 3 more pretty damn good reasons to stop. 2 small children and a wife.
Think of the effort you are putting in, to sneak around a get those beers in, alot in my opinion. I think we all know its not worth it. Anyway, you have come to the right place, people here will help you every step of the away. No one will judge, just help. Wish you the best.
