I got tired of the hangovers and waking up knowing that I was a complete douchebag in the way I treated people that I love. I've been sober for 15 years....not one damn drop since.

Get the alcohol out of the house. It's harder to sneak or slip, if you have to go out of your way to get to it. Otherwise, you are setting yourself up, just making it harder.

I heard quitting smoking was harder than quitting heroin. So I tried heroin, and they were fricking wrong, man.

I didn’t quit drinking.
I don’t have hangovers.

Anytime you feel the need to sneak a drink, look at some pics/videos of your kids and think about what they would want for you. If you are having those groggy/hangover feelings in the morning, your kids are feeling the affects as well because they do not get the best version of you, and/or you "don't want to be bothered by them. There will come a point in their lives that they will start to think you just don't want to be bothered because of them.

Get some support and find something else to do that you enjoy.

Good idea. Also make plans early in the morning in weekends if possible.

Alcohol craving is closely associated with carbohydrate addiction and junk food consumption.
Here is my advice.
First quit consuming vegetable oils and every product that includes them. Quit eating at fast food joints and restaurants.
Eat real food and exclude sugars and starches. Eat plenty of eggs, bacon and red meat.
If you have to have alcohol limit the consumption to dry red wine.
If you make these changes you will feel much better and you will gain control.

People I know had to get rid if all traces if it out of their life. This included not allowing drinking in home by friends and family. They also reduced temptation by no longer going to bars/clubs.

It’s definitely more a habit than an addiction. But maybe it’s become the latter. Never had this problem before.
Sounds like it is progressively getting worse. That’s a typical sign for alcoholics. The part about you wanting to stop but not being able to is another typical sign of alcoholics. Many don’t want to acknowledge it because of the stigma and that they want to still be able to drink while ignoring the stigma of their actions while drinking. Over time it will continue to get worse. It’s not you or willpower. Most at the stage you are in think they can handle it or if they just get control of it they can go back to regular drinking. Studies have shown time and again it very rarely works that way.

Whether stuck in a rut or full blown alcoholic...how did you flip the switch? Covid and working from home has escalated my habit. Everyday I say I’m going to quit and those days it seems like I drink more.
I exercise a lot and am very active but I feel I am to the point of sneak drinking out of boredom esp when the wife and kids have settled down and I know I don’t have to get up in the morning. Give me some advice OT.
You are not alone... I've fallen into something similar. Sneaking a mixed drink in the afternoons when the wife is running, etc. Random shite. I find that I am drinking a couple of mixed drinks a night. Not getting drunk, just enough to feel it and then stopping. Never waking up with a hangover or headache... but I am doing it every night. My honest question is, how much of a problem do I have? I guess I am scared to "seek help"... and don't really think that I have a problem. And it's not every night, but at least 5 nights out of the 7 in a week.

Not if you’re an alcoholic. My alcoholism had nothing to do with my fondness for Pop Tarts.

Find something to replace it.
Outdoors preferably.
I just quit one night, cold turkey.

I am amazed at the number of dietitians and nutrition experts on the OT. I still need to check with the ultimate authority.
Mingo, is this guy right?

You’re both not even close to being alcoholics... highly-functioning or not, but if you’re still getting a hangover, you’re not even close to “having a problem“...
Your definition of when someone’s drinking becomes a problem is not universal. It’s different levels for everyone

How did you quit drinking?
I usually just fall asleep.
In all seriousness, I’ve been told it’s one of the hardest things to do. Yet many have done it. Good luck to you and yours.
