I was drinking everyday for about 18 years. It was a fabulous way for me to blot out the unhappiness of my marriage. Unfortunately, after I also figured out I had depression and anxiety and was therefore being medicated for those conditions, I went on a pub crawl. The last pub I fell out of and landed on my face. My front tooth broke off at the gumline. I looked in vain for that tooth but instead found lots of little stones that looked very similar.
That was then. Now I am remarried, still getting medication but now also seeing a therapist. The drinking I HAD to stop in order to get better. I did the whole emptying all the bottles in the house, and went through physical withdrawls. Not drinking is a blessing in that it's one less thing to feel guilty about.
Don't know if this helps, but I have been there, and wanted to share my tale.
