I sympathize mate.
But you must do rehab. You have to stop. I mean do you drive to from work ? What if you killed someone ?
Also your health.

I've never been behind the wheel while under the influence. True alcoholics are cunning..

It's a shity addiction, I mean the stuff is everywhere. Hard to not be faced with it.
The whole western culture seems based around it, if you socialize I mean.
Even tv soaps revolve around a pub.

And I wish I fucking wasn't. But I am. And next week when I've gone 7 days without a drink I'll still be an alcoholic. And in 6 months when I've not had a drink I'll still be a sad addict. It's fucking awful mate.

My doctor didn't believe me when I told him what I drank. I told him the truth no fucking about.

I used to only drink Friday and Saturday with the odd Thursday thrown in. Having kids (somewhat paradoxically) changed everything. Once they're in bed, I always crack open the bevvy (often before they've gone to bed actually). I love 2/3 cans then a half a bottle of vino. I exercise every day but know my alcohol intake isn't healthy and would love to curtail. I've stopped the booze previously, so I know I can do it, but I genuinely enjoy a drink; I have never missed a day of work in the last twenty years because of drink, so am happy to carry on (I think!). My greatest concern is my children seeing me drink and they see it as "the norm". My mum and dad rarely drank in the week, but, they smoked and they also fought bitterly every weekend, without fail about my dad's commitment to his job so I'm not sure one begets the other so to speak. Do I drink too much? Certainly. Do I enjoy a drink? Certainly. Do I want to drink less? Certainly. Do I want to drink more? Certainly.

Johnny you have a perfect life balance mate. I wouldn't worry about your intake of beer if you're capable of writing stuff like that.
Best wishes to you and your family
 
I've read somewhere that alcohol drinking dropped in UK since "lockdown". It's awful habit. My mate died of alcohol, he threw up half of his organs, his uncle found him in his home in sea of blood. He was barely 40, but he drank day/night for good 20 years, he was never sober. He was very, very nice guy, but he ruined his life with it. Had a chance to start from the beginning few years before he died, his whole family emigrated to USA and that was his chance, to move from his daily habits and people he was surrounded with, but he refused.

My next door neighbour was made redundant after 30 years and quickly fell in to depression. He had always been a wine drinker but he started drinking a bottle of whisky a day. He died within 3 months from massive organ failure.
 
I had to stop drinking 10 years ago due to an unrelated health condition.

I get by with low alcohol beers, mainly Adnams Ghost Ship 0% Ale and Bitburger Drive.

I have tried dozens, and think those 2 are 2 of the best.

If you have a real problem with alcohol, then it is an option (admittedly not a sexy one) but if it helps just one person then it's worth it.
