Hi, Rebeccaj. Welcome. Lots of good support here. My drinking, much like yours, was progressive. First a drink or two at night, and occasionally on the week-end. Then it was every night and every weekend day. Then it was starting around 4:00 when i was done with school. Didn't stop until I rolled into bed. I didn't remember stuff after a certain time of night. Hated to go out in the evening because I was afraid my drinking would show. I finally decided to do something when my husband confronted me and expressed his worry and fear about how much alcohol I was consuming.
I went to an AA meeting the next day. Have you considered AA? Folks there are incredibly supportive . Full disclosure: I didn't stay with AA beyond my first year of sobriety, but I shall be forever grateful to the program for helping in the early days.
