Find what's triggering the need to drink as mine was feeling lost and alone I'd drink or if I was upset over something petty I would drink or had a hard day at work I'd find myself buying a beer,now I know what triggers me i just take some time to think and say I don't need this to make myself feel better a month good I could only last a week but gotta keep strong you can do this.

Go to a meeting, Call your sponsor. Talk to your network and realize your not alone your not the only one that thinks like this. We all look out for each other, When in doubt reach out.

Yeah that's how my marriage failed cause I drank and after it was all said and done I just drank more but had to force myself to stop and just switch it up now I work out to fill the void im all alone doing it by myself self I got faith in you stay strong.
Just look long term. The binge drinking could evolve into everyday drinking. Then the wheels really fall off the bus
Prayer to your higher power of your own understanding. Go to meetings and stick with people who are also sober. This is a we disease not an I disease. One day at a time.
Just do better today. That's all you can do.
Sounds like your drinking is destructive. And that you need to do something different. U got a really change up things and get it right. Needs to be your top priority and avoid drinkers. Do whatever you have to do. Your family is at stake. Take it seriously by doing things differently.
U may have to stay away from certain people. Drinking sucks anyways compared to all the good things that can be taken away.
Hmu anytime
Go to 90 meetings in the next 90 days get a sponsor and start you steps. Get phone numbers and call them before you pick up.
Gabor Mate reminds us “Its not why the addiction, but why the pain.” You can do the steps, you can supplement the thing, but if you really want to transform your life… you’ll have to dig up the root of the pain/ suffering/ trauma. This is the path and you’re capable, when your ready.
