Do you have time to keep drinking? And have you read some of the horror stories of those who did keep drinking?
Pretty much all of us faced the same conundrum. Couldn't keep drinking but found lots if reasons ( aka excuses ) why we couldn't stop either. It is absolutely possible to stop though, for anyone. Take detox for example....medically supervised detox can happen in a matter of days , even over a long weekend sometimes. Do you never take vacation? Or a day off here and there? You absolutely could if you wanted to.
Some doctors will even work out a detox scheduled on an outpatient basis, but you really need to talk to one first. Is it really worth the risk to find out the hard way?
