Are you doing anything to deal with other issues that may underlie your drinking? Counseling? AA? If not, you might want to consider it.
My issues are compounded by the fact I am 17,000km from home. Living in Ukraine for the past eight years. My Russian is very basic, I drank away any cash reserves I had, and I was so bad I have been unemployable for the past six months. A lot of people here talk about hangovers. I never really got them. And I was well beyond that point. Within a max of five hours from my last drink and I was straight into withdrawal. For me alcohol was fuel. Simple as that. The tank got near empty and I needed a refuel.
I'm 37 and I could feel that I was close to getting to end stage.
