I have been through some major life changes. I spent most of last year in hospital with heart troubles. I came very close to dieing and it really upset my family. Now I'm home and what was a slight preoccupation with drinking has become a much bigger problem.

So far I have his it from my family but I know I must quit for my health. I was in a coma for quite sometime with liver and kidney failure which did lasting damage. So I feel like and idiot for putting my health in danger but I'm concerned I can't quit. Thank you

    Too much idle time on your hands is the main problem. You need to try and fill it.

    There is medication that can greatly help, but personally, having spent a long time in hospital and a fair amount of time recovering at home afterwards, I know it is all too easy to sit and watch TV and drink.
