This was me.
But I was sick and tired of being sick and tired for many, many, many years before I quit. I drank everyday for 27 years and I feared quitting - I didn't know how to cope without alcohol.
I finally reached a point last October that the booze was not working for me anymore - I had to quit or just stay drunk 24/7 until I lost everything including my mind.
Luckily I chose to quit drinking.
