I think I may be an alcoholic

I drink every day. Some nights I drink 4 double shots of Jack Daniels after work alone, at home. Other days I I'll drink beer. Like last night, I drank 1 double shot of Jack Daniels and 2 in a half beers. And these beers aren't bud lite or miller high life beers. They are stouts or IPA's. Very strong beers. I really want to stop drinking every night but I KEEP DOING IT. Cause I think "Oh it's not that big a deal it's only a few drinks". But it is. I feel like it has a lot to do with reasons why I can't drop as much weight as I want to. anyway, that's it!

I had the same problem, although I didn't drink as heavy as you. I stopped when health issues came up. I panicked and stopped cold turkey. You can do it. I liked the nice relaxed and groggy feeling from alcohol, so I substituted over the counter sleeping pills and it worked. Also instead of alcohol, I switched to something sweet, like ice cream. Amped up my nutrition and drank more water, exercised, etc. You can do it. Start cutting back each day until you are not drinking snymore. Please don't delay.

@SW-User So weird, I was just thinking of going to buy sleeping pills now. Because its gotten so bad to the point where I can't sleep without it.
