Welcome Neverever 
The good news is we all have to start from somewhere
Sounds like you're done digging, so now you can start climbing out of the hole you've dug, towards the sun
You'll find support here

Welcome to SR! Trying to bend the world is tiresome and impossible.
A good man with addictions of his own had found a great solution and wrote about it in a song. It was called the "man in the mirror" if I remember correctly. Beautiful song.
It's about changing ourselves so that the world would change. He forgot the lyrics and died sadly of an overdose. Michael Jackson that was.
We don't have to follow the same path, you can do this. Just gather all your might, follow your plan and stand proud against your beast.

Welcome neverever!
I was like you when I found SR. Defeated and exhausted from years of trying to control my drinking. I was determined to magically turn into a social drinker so it could be fun again. That ship had sailed, and there was nothing to do but embrace the new, sober life I had in front of me. My resentment and anger ended quite awhile ago - I now can't imagine going back to that sick life I once led.
Glad you found us!
