Answers:
Go to AA and listen to what we say there. You have already admitted that you are powerless over alcohol. THERE IS HOPE and you are not alone!

As a retired mental health practitioner with licenses in alcohol and drug dependence and abuse, I can answer your final question by saying you appear to have alcoholism. What you do with your problem is your responsibility, but the consequences of not dealing with it are predictable. You'll lose everything and everybody you have, know and love, and your health won't be worth crap either. So, you can either get involved in some treatment program in your area, and I'm sure you have more than one where you are, no matter where you are, or you can start one based on the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. If you do nothing, you're going to lose a lot. God Bless you.
You are a person who has a very serious disease. One that will never go away. Much like diabetes, or other chronic illnesses. Believe me when I tell you this......you can fight this. But it is a battle you will have to fight for the rest of your life. If your life and your family is as important to you as you say, the FIGHT with all you have in you. I know what I am talking about. I was married to a man who has this very same disease. He did not want to fight it, so I had no choice but to leave the marriage, even though I did not want to leave.
Go to AA and stay in it. Get a sponsor and keep in touch with them as much as you need to. Talk to anyone who seems willing to help you. Do whatever it takes to save your life, and your family.
And do it NOW!
Peace.
You can't cure alcoholism by yourself. If it were possible, I would have done so by now. It is a disease for which you need and deserve professional help. Don't hate yourself. Your wife and kids need you to be strong. You're not a coward. You're sick and just need help. I honestly and truly wish you the best of luck.
Hey Mr. I could relate to this situation cause my husband went through this and with doing crank (meth) for over 7yrs. well he went to church one night asked God to help him with this addiction, then if God was going to help him he would get saved. Well it wasn't easy i could say cause there was temptations all around him but few weeks after he got baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and repented of his sins he started to think better not have any desire to pick up a bottle of alchol or to smoke meth; it was just one of those miracles. Hey find God and repent and he will hear your prayer trust me now my husband graduated from college and has a good paying career . And God did this for him find a Apostolic or Pentecostal Cristian Church that believe in on faith one babtizm one God and watch God is just waiting to see if you are willing if you want to make that change doit !!!!
Go to alcoholics anonamous.
I'm dealing with something right now also. First, my husband admitted to being an alcoholic. I trusted him home with my kids one day. I came home from work, he was drunk and denied it, played ball in the street with my son, and actually fell several times because he was so drunk. He was a bloody mess when I came back. I called 911. He kept saying he was fine. The police showed up. What I'm saying, is sometimes it takes a crisis to open an abuser's eyes. My husband went to an AA meeting. He's been sober for about a month. He's determinied and realizes he can NEVER drink again. He hasn't gone to another AA meeting but he hasn't had another drink either.
My sister is an abuser also. She has lost her job, has brain damage, liver damage and is in the hospital tonight as I'm typing this. You'd think she'd want help by now. She's still refusing it.
So for you to type your message here reaching out to others is a HUGE step. You're admitting to a problem. My goodness, please don't let it start damaging your organs. Your family needs you. It's time to stop. AA is a great first step. Al-Anon can be good for the wife too. Hope it works out for you!
