    You need help stopping and there is help available. I quit drinking a few years ago after realizing I was an alcoholic. You need to stop before you body forces you to stop.

    With some effort, support, and planning I was able to not drink for a year straight. And have since been able to have a drink without having too much or wanting more.

    It isn’t easy but neither is liver issues.

    Figure out what drives you to drink and avoid it. I cut friends that I liked to drink around. Quit a well paying job because it stressed me out. I took a few weeks off after I quit and kinda reset and finally had found my major trigger.

    Anyway you can get a handle on it.

      This is very dangerous. Alcoholics often try and convince themselves they can ‘just have one’, and it usually becomes another months or years long bender.

      Be careful playing with fire
