--in person, would be better. A friend, a family member, a therapist, a minister or spiritual guide.

It might also be worth considering going to a meeting. You know the kind I mean. These days, there aren't just the Friends of Bill, but a lot of other groups who can help when one's drinking has gotten out of hand. I seriously urge this. Recognizing there's a problem is a big step -- and more than most manage. Take it the next step further and get help.

The main thing is to reach out to your fellow humans, so that you can re-learn that life really isn't just awfulness and terror and pain. Focus on the light, and deny the shadows' power over you.

I wish you the best.
