I feel like I can be direct about this, because I went through the same thing without really facing the cause and effect relationship between drinking and adverse consequences. But there is most definitely an undeniable cause/effect relationship between the two.
I'm wishing you well. I hope you will find this forum to be a comfortable place to work your way through this problem.
That is how I felt for years. The problem was those unintended consequence never stopped. They continue. I just didn't know when I would cross that line and blow it.
It wasn't until I became sick and tired of being sick and tired that I considered stopping.
