Step 1 is admitting you have a problem. Well, I have a problem.

I basically have no will power when booze is involved. I do enjoy the taste and I do like the feeling of liquor. But its tearing me, and my new family (just a wife for now) apart. It has destroyed my dads side of the family and I hate it for it. But I feel like I have next to no control over saying no to a drink.

I'm 30, and I've had a great ride with liquor. I've got tons of stories, some good, and some bad. But its starting to threaten my own health, my career, and most importantly my family.

I though I've had it under control for the last 3 years or so after being basically out of control from 18 - 25. My lovely wife hates me being drunk and I've been a good husband for 363 / 365 days a year. But the 2 days I'm hammered are not good.

I always feel like people who post such serious issues on message boards are weak minded and ill advised. But here I am. I dont really know who else to turn too after today.

I'm looking for a bit of advice and references for counselling by the great power that is CP. I am weak. I do need help.

I'm looking into AADAC etc. I want to quit. I really, really do. I'm just finding it very hard.

Let me have it.
