You've made a huge beginning. 1. You've broken through the Denial that you have a drinking problem. Lot's of people never even get that far. 2.Honesty kicks alcoholism butt and you're honest. 3. You are open to a Solution. Most alcoholics or 'problem drinkers' have anxious personalities. I would suggest going to an AA meeting, talking to the people before and after the meeting, get there early, leave late, get phone numbers, read the literature, call people in the program, go to meetings instead of drinking every night. This is how I'm doing it. Other people have other ways. AA isn't perfect but for me it's the best thing going. You're not alone. You'll make fast friends who are trying to stop too. I also believe in taking psyche meds for psyche problems instead of alcohol-try a psychiatrist or family dr who can prescribe anti-anxiety meds. This also works for me
