I have been drinking heavy for about a year now, 4 or 5 days a week, come home from work and drink a pack of beer, people close to me have warned me numerous times I got a problem, but my view was I wasn’t ever drunk, I just had enough to feel relaxed.
That was my use, coping with life, in my old job before I left, I’d go home at lunch because I was tired in the morning and down a few whiskies and go back in and hit all my targets, I become reliant on alcohol.
I started drinking on the sly, when my partner goes out, I’d have one or two quick before she comes back.
Whenever we drink with friends, they would come round for one or two, I’d have 6 or 7.
I think I need help here, I have a son, I don’t know if I’m serious enough to seek help, but I feel physically worse these days, weight plummeted, skin is bad, tired, can’t sleep.
How do I approach this
