Welcome back. Sorry you are going through a tough time. You can kick alcohol.
Since you aren't going to treatment, do you think AA is something you'd be interested in? The thing is, when alcohol is involved the pain is so fresh in the beginning and willpower isn't enough to keep us away from it. Alone it is too much for us and is where a solid recovery program would come in.
It is easy to say "I will quit drinking" yet hard staying away from alcohol.
Remember, take it one day at a time and don't drink no matter what.

Good to see you ....
Your doctor gave you bad news straight up.
Did he mention a short term De Tox?
That's usually 3 days.
AA meetings are often held every day.
Many allow children and some have play rooms.
What about your days off from work?
Blessings to you and yoor children.

If you do go to a rehab - even if you loose your job - you might find that you will get a better one later - when your mind is clearer and you are sober. Has happened many times before.
Maybe have a think about that .....
Good luck
