I have finally broke down and realized that I'm an Alcoholic after many years of denial. I found this site a couple months back and was very hesitant to register but found the stories of others struggling with alcohol and finding a way to beat this very hopeful.
Long story short I was laid off from my job in the construction industry and found out one of my parents had stage 4 cancer all in one week. I became a full time caregiver and morphed into a full time drinker, functional but finding myself always needing a drink to deal with the stress. My anexity is now through the roof and alcohol is the only thing that takes the edge off. I'm drinking as I write this.
I want to stop but can't find the will power, sad I know. I just want to learn to live without it and not let it control my thoughts daily. All I think about is, when can I get the next drink!
Not looking for pitty, looking for a solution to get my life back on track! I have to for me first but also my family and friends.
I'm really interested in trying baclofen. I have read numerous success stories on this site and others and I think it might be worth a shot.
Anyways any advice would be appreciated, it would mean alot. I admire the strength of alot of people i see posting on this site. Hopefully if I can beat this I can help others too!
Thanks.
