The best thing you could do is check in to rehab somewhere. It's hard to quit when you have access to it. I will keep u in my prayers.

Yes I thought the same thing but I have a company to run they can't be without me for a month or however long it may take I stopped on my own a couple of times once when I had surgery and once when my stomach was just feeling so terrible I said I'm not drinking anymore but that only lasted for two weeks the money felt better I fell back into my old ways but thank you for the thought

IOP would be the best option for you.

Welcome! Glad you’re here, it’s not easy to open up about this, but it’s a big step. Alcohol can be a tough one. Tip: focus on just getting through today, and don’t worry about the big picture right now. You’ve got a ton of support here!

Start with going to AA meetings. 90 meetings in 90 days. An hour out of each day. Commit to it and see how it can change everything for the better.
