Hi MBCUK and welcome to the forum
You say you have a wife, 2 kids, run a hotel etc. That's great. But what's more important - all that or your pride? If you carry on the way you are you are risking losing ALL of that. You need to swallow your pride and speak to your GP.
You say you are drinking 20 units a day. Do you drive? If so you are risking your life and the lives of everyone else sharing the road with you.
Please don't think I am being sanctimonious - the fact I am a member of her means I have a problem - but I don't want you to lose what you have,

Welcome. It is frustrating to figure out what to do especially at first. Your first step was admitting that you aren't comfortable with your alcohol consumption. Not sure why any doctor would be that blasé about alcohol consumption as high as yours, but maybe he is old school or hasn't been updated on the effects of alcohol on overall health. Find another doctor who is more educated and keep posting here. We are your support group until you feel comfortable enough to find one for you locally. I know it isn't easy. Most of all, be safe and kind to yourself.
