Are you the one going through the divorce? With the manipulative soon-to-be-ex? Or am I thinking of a different O-named account?

The earlier the better. If not rehab at least see a therapist could help a lot.

You really should talk with someone. I don't know where you live, but there are free video therapy sessions in some areas.

The more removed from the holiday season we get, and more sun we get, hopefully you improve with it.

as someone who got pretty close to flushing his life down the bottle, get that drinking under control. now. it's so easy to be complacent about it and "deal with it later", but the longer you keep up the habit, the harder it is to break it. all of us who ended up downing a 5th or more every day started somewhere. and for most of us, it was a gradual decline until we were so far down the rabbit hole of alcoholism it was literally dangerous to quit.

it's good that you've identified that you're drinking too much. that's the first step, kudos for making it that far. the next step is to limit the # of days each week you drink. slowly reduce that until you're at a comfortable / reasonable level

i gotta agree here. of everything, that's the thing that will cause the most problems. better to stop it now before it gets out of hand.

Can start small and set 1 small, realistic goal per day.

Sounds like your kind of manic/depressive my dude. Like others said you should talk to someone about that. You could have a chemical imbalance thats no fault of your own. You just have to want to get better.

Hope things improve!

thx bro. didn't drink last night
gonna see if i can go all weekend (or more, but baby steps i guess)

Yeah, you might wanna talk to a professional. Your wife fucked you up and getting some help with that would probably be a really good idea. Even if you have the drinking part under control, that's a lot to handle.
