I quit drinking cracked#

I put my son to bed at 8pm and cracked open my first beer. I was going to ration them out and have three or four beers a night. On November 2, 2016, I had a week of vacation starting and I bought myself a case of 24 beers. I got to a point where I knew that if I didn't reach out for help, I would be a dead man. I was irritable, restless and I didn't sleep well. I had trouble relating to my family and I would get angry very easily. When I was drunk, I would look in the mirror and say, 'How did I get like this?' and then the next might I would be drunk again. My behaviour became erratic and I wasn't able to meet my commitments at work. Sometimes I would buy wine in a box, decant it into a litre sized water bottle in the garage or bathroom and slug that down quickly. 'I'm 10, I Was Homeless, Now I'm A Chess Master'.'I Became a Cryptocurrency Millionaire-Now I Own My Dream Home'.'I've Had Three Long-Term Polyamorous Relationships'.But when I drank after that, even though I would swear to myself that I would only have one or two, I would end up having 12 to 24 alcoholic drinks a night in secret. I even had one stretch of sobriety that lasted 14 months I felt I'd taken care of the problem. I would tell my wife that something wasn't right and stop drinking for a month or two. My relationship with alcohol just got seriously out of control. I wasn't drinking to escape any real emotional trauma, despite having been through a lot. I regularly needed to quench an absolutely uncontrollable thirst for alcohol I wanted to drink until I was sick or blacked out. Soon, I began to notice that my relationship with alcohol had changed. The surgery meant that alcohol was digested differently, it was sort of like drinking on an empty stomach. In 2012, at 30 years old and nearly 350lbs, I had gastric bypass surgery. I had also been an obese child and then struggled with my weight my whole life. I didn't consider my drinking to be problematic, although I suspect a doctor may tell you differently. In college, and throughout my 20s, I only ever consumed two or three drinks at a time I could take it or leave it. But though my parents both drank, they weren't alcoholics and I only started drinking during senior year in high school as a way to socialize. Growing up in Vancouver, alcohol was always a fixture in my home. Sometimes I couldn't wait and I drank on the way home and I would be drunk when I arrived. At that time, I also always drank the moment I got home from work. When I realized I had mini bottles of liquor in the pockets, I selfishly told her I wanted my coat back for myself, just so I could hide the alcohol from her and so she wouldn't realize I was driving while likely over the limit. The same year-2016-I was driving home from a date with my wife one night when she asked for my coat to use as a blanket. I knew where I could buy the cheapest hard liquor with the highest percentage of alcohol and no matter where I went, I usually had a mini bottle or two of liquor in my pocket.
