Hi Jennes,
I too was a functioning alcoholic for many years in my late 20's and early 30's. It escalated to drinking for most of the weekend, and trying to face work on many Mondays hung over. I was doing this to self-medicate anxiety and concerns about relationships and where my life was headed. Once I got sober, I was able to face things head on and make positive changes. It was very helpful for me to read the posts on SR over the years, and also to attend AA meetings. Life is wonderful and I am so happy to be sober, and not to have to worry about all of the difficulties that drinking brings. You will get there too! Hugs to you.
