I started out like this too. But as time went on the hours of the day I wasn't drinking I felt like crap - so I drank more and more.
Eventually the only time I felt good or "normal" was when I had alcohol in my system. During the last 10 - 15 years I was hungover and miserable every single day from the time I woke up until I had my first drink. That is no way to live.
