Yeah it does sound like a cop out, Bullmas.
I'm sorry it's hard, obviously, but drinking will only make it harder, man.
No one comes to SR because drinking makes their life awesome.
Drinking doesn't make it more likely you'll get insurance or get a job - you know it makes it much much more difficult.
It took me a year or more to sort my life out when I quit drinking.
If you've been drinking for a long as I did - decades - it's a long game, bullmas - but not as long as slowing dying an alcoholic death.
I hope you'll reconsider tomorrow. You must have things in your life you treasure.
Fight this, or you may lose those things.
