Hi carlfardman
Some great responses here.
I certainly can identify with your story. I tried to 'cut back' but every time I opened a bottle or a six pack or whatever I had to drink the lot in one sitting.
The next step for me was drinking to excess every night, not just weekends...and then finding myself 'retired'.
More time to drink....pretty soon it was round the clock.
The only way for me to break out of that was not to drink at all.
It was tough for a while in the beginning but I look back now and I'm glad - I have my life back
