Hereigo - I did the same thing, but I finally became so disgusted with myself, & the way my life was being sabotaged, that I got free. I could no longer pretend alcohol was a comforting friend - or that it was enhancing my life in any way. It only brought pain & misery in the end. It took me a while - but I have 14 yrs. now. So I know you can do this. Never give up on yourself - we certainly won't.
