I always thought I could stop drinking when I wanted to, but when I wanted/needed to I was devastated to find that I couldn't. Unfortunately we never see the invisible line until after we've crossed it and then it's too late. In the end, I found it exhausting to try to hide my drinking and plan my life around alcohol. I know what the being scared feels like and it's miserable. We're here for you if and when you decide to stop drinking.
