Hello and welcome. Congratulations on a week sober. That's a great start and shows you can go a relatively decent period of sobriety.
I used to like to have a drink, too. But then it took over my life, like you.
The weekends turned into weekdays. The evenings into mornings and any semblance of controlled drinking a thing of the past.
It's great that you realize you may have a problem now, because believe me, it is progressive and can get worse.
You'll find a lot of support here. And remember, you never have to drink again if you don't pick up that first one.
