E,
I was just like you. I never blacked out or did anything terrible. Went to work everyday. However I drank six to eight beers everyday, ate dinner, watched a little tv and went to bed every single day for a very very long time. It wouldn't hurt to see your doctor now and get a plan together. He or she may have alternatives that will work with your schedule. To be honest my friend I always found a reason to delay sobriety and fourteen years of my life vanished. I don't want that to happen to you. Telling my doctor and my wife was the biggest relief I have ever known. It's the first step in my opinion of being free.
