Hello, i'm Dave, I've been a functioning alcoholic for over fifteen years. I have tried meetings, medication, and rehab.
I come from a very broken family, and I am the only one
still alive. I've lived a very difficult life, but I have never hit rock bottom. Every relationship i've had has been ruined by my drinking.
I am not a violent or destructive drunk, In fact, most people prefer me after a few drinks. I've had multiple years of relationships and lost people I loved. They can't watch me kill myself slowly over time.
I'm alone, and I feel like giving up. Living in a very remote area, there's not much support here for me. Stop going to meetings because they wanted to make me drink more. I'm not a religious man
I just don't know what to do anymore.
