Hi WF, I don't envy your situation, it sounds really really difficult. Been there, can't stop, but know I have to.

I have a couple thoughts, one is that I agree with some others that we often try to run away from our problem, but it usually doesn't work. The escape is not really any escape because the underlying problem is still there.

My other thought is that I try to advise people to quit while it is still a choice. For some, the choice to quit is taken away. Either by prison time for something we did while drinking, or by a health condition like a stroke. Those folks can not choose to quit drinking.
