    what do I do?

    :new:I am a 28 year old man and I have gone through the last ten years drinking a lot. When I started working in hospitality I spent years drinking every day (even during work at one job when I was the boss). I left hospitality to try and stop drinking as much and change my lifestyle, it worked to a certain extent, but instead of drinking every night I made up for it on the weekends by absolutely writing myself on friday and saturday. I then decided to leave and work in a place where there is no alcohol aloud into the town we live in at all, So now I can only drink if we go into town, so we do this all the time, it is an hour drive and we book a motel and start drinking as soon as we get there and write ourselves off again. On the weekend we spent $500 and we had free accomodation, don't ask me how, I was just told that I was carrying around at least 2 drinks all the time and changing what I was drinking all the time, slamming shots and needless to say I can't remember a thing and im still hung over two days later. This sort of thing is a really regular occurence for us, I am definately one of those people who can't just have one or two beers and stop there, it is really getting me down and I want some change. My wife and I are planning on trying for children soon and I want to be a good example for them.

    Does anyone have any advice as to where to start. I have said to my wife that we are not going into town for at least a month, but come saturday afternoons when we finish work we quite often get the urge and head in anyway.

    Im sick of this lifestyle, and want change and to finally feel healthy and good about myself.

    Please help

    Thank you
