"I want to stop drinking. However, I do not think I will be able to do this without me solving some clear issues."
Hope, you want to quit drinking.
great.
seems you're saying you need to get issues out of the way first, in order to stop.
i have not found that to be so, though i did believe that for a long time. a belief that kept me drinking. no need to quit with a belief like that, as long as i had not fixed my issues. it was very convenient. though it felt desperate.
my suggestion would be to find a way to quit drinking and then you can work on clearing the "issues" and that will likely help with staying quit.
there is no dilemma if you want to stop.
