I was also a binge drinker who
could have one or two in public but always wanted more. I could go 3-4 days or even a week with nothing but then shut myself up for a weekend and go through 3-4 bottles of wine and a six pack of beer. I know it sounds obvious, but when it really, REALLY hit me 1) how miserable the constant worrying about drinking, the hangovers, etc., were making me, and 2) that ALL of that could just go away if I took alcohol out of the equation...it was like a revelation. I didn't HAVE to feel so bad all the time. I didn't HAVE to worry if I had enough to drink in the house to last the night, or if I could drink enough to get drunk but still make it to work the next day, all that. It really can get better if you use whatever resources you can to help you say, Alcohol just isn't part of my life any more. You'll find lots of support here.
