This is a support community.
I find it's best to remember that everyone's taken time out of their day to try & help, but chances are you won't like every reply Serper.
I recommend you use the ignore function if you feel you need to -
back and forth bickering isn't really useful for anyone.
If you guys want to duke it out take it to PM.

Ignore bothersome members. If there is someone on the forum that bothers you, select the Ignore option on the drop down menu under their name on the post. You won't see any posts from this member again

Welcome Serper. the problem is 'me' to be sure. Alcohol however is an addictive substance. The vulnerability is biological.
It was not until after that I realised my emotional life and thinking had been compromised by the addiction.
Hope you find stability and contentment.

I'm gonna tell you congratulations whether you like it or not. So, congratulations. Not generically, but for realizing what your life was becoming and taking action. Also, for having courage and sharing it.
I'm also gonna give you a warning; be careful with that "the problem isn't alcohol, the problem is me" business. Dangerous ground.
On the one hand, it's accurate inasmuch as that for nearly all of us - the core of our issues lies in how we choose to deal with our lives (or, more accurately, NOT deal with our lives) making us susceptible to the addictive awfulness of alcohol.
On the other hand, I have personal experience with hellish relapse for this very reason. Becoming convinced that 'it wasn't the alcohol, it was ME' led directly to my eventual logic that I'd "fixed" the me issues.... so clearly I could drink again.
Which - for me - was a very, very wrong conclusion. I have witnessed the same in others.
I wish you well, whether you like it or not.
