Hey bud, just letting you know that life in general gets a lot easier when alcohol isn't poisoning your mind and body. I got stuck real bad for, sheesh, 7 years because I would feel crappy, drink to feel less crappy, then feel even more crappy the next day, repeat.
Recently I had breakfast with my partner, and brought up that it had really been a problem lately, and they took it to heart and have been keeping me accountable. After about a week I had a six pack and some liquor on Saturday as usual and Sunday just felt like a total waste of a day, I felt awful. I think you lose that perspective over time of how much better being sober is when you have been daily drinking for so long.
Of course I won't pretend I have everything figured out and it has been hard not having that method of self-education, but what really kicked my butt into gear was talking about it to somebody I cared about, and getting that first week of sobriety for perspective of how much better I could be feeling. I wish you the best, I know it's not easy.
