I'm drunk, any other alcoholics around? [View all]

[madville]

Started drinking Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA at 4pm, kind of hammered. I'm 35 and feel 60, been binge drinking for 20 years now. I think about quiting everyday. I want to quit, have probably spent $100,000 on alcohol and cigarettes in the last 20 years.

I grew up with parents that drank and functioned, doing the same going through the motions, make 60k a year and it all centers around making time to drink.

I want to stop drinking, I think about back when I was a teenager and realize besides 8 weeks in boot camp the longest I have gone without alcohol is about 5 days.

I go two or three days and I relapse. Drunk again tonight, it sucks. I'm fine otherwise though, good job, financials, etc, just lonely at times as well since the last few women I've spent time with were heavy drinkers as well.

Enough of this rant, I'm safe and secure, no worries, I just want to kick this addiction, does anyone have any advice?
