Hi LookingD,
Welcome to the forum and thank you for sharing your story with us.
By admitting that you think you may have an addiction to alcohol, this is a first step to recovery.
Drinking daily and hiding the evidence – is a sign that you know this isn’t normal.
If you truly want to beat this thing, before it gets way out of hand, I think you would benefit from joining an AA group.
My son has alcohol and cocaine addictions and this is the only thing that works for him.
Face to face or online meetings regularly, starting the 12step program with a sponsor- the fellowship guys are so supportive and understanding. They’ve all been there so they know the script.
My son is currently 9 months free of alcohol and cocaine.
It was difficult especially at the beginning, but as long as you have the strength and determination to fight it.
Keep in touch here,
Stay strong,
Lx ❤️
