Has anyone else been in my situation?

Hi Member. 
As someone more than twice your age, I'd like to say - please be careful. At 25 the idea of not drinking seemed impossible. I was almost always out of control every time I drank - but wanted to believe if I tried hard enough to use willpower, I could moderate and just have a few. That never happened. By the time I finally admitted I couldn't touch it, my life was in chaos. It took me years to rebuild all the things I had torn down with my destructive drinking habits.
I think it's great that you're questioning your behavior and looking for solutions. Please keep posting.

Another difficulty with my situation is that I travel around a LOT and am rarely in the same place for very long, which makes attending AA meetings or regular counselling sessions rather difficult.

And hate to break the news to ya but I have traveled around the world and everywhere I have been there are meetings. Go figure drunks everywhere.
Dont let yourself fall into being terminally unique.
You can be free.
