Alcohol is the devil

I made a post the other day. I spoke to my sister and she said that I need help. I agreed, while drinking beer, and didn't stop. I have mental health issues (anxiety, depression, panic disorder) and I blame this for why I drink so much.

I work from home and literally love (hate it) because I can drink when I want to that my partner doesn't know (because she hates it).

I never get hangovers, I drink anywhere up to 20 cans and still get up at 7am and make breakfast. Yet I believe this is where my problem lies, drinking for up to 16 hours a day.

I wake up thinking of alcohol (I don't have a drink though) I can get through until 5pm without a drink but then I binge.

I probably need help, but I literally love getting drunk (mostly on my own) and at this moment in time, I would be willing to lose my family to be alone and drink.

I haven't lost it yet, but I will do, surely, and I think I need help before I do.

    Have you admitted to yourself you're an alcoholic yet? That should be your next step if you wish to break your addiction. All the best.
