I've known I have a drinking problem for a few years now. I guess I thought it would magically go away and I'd be able to control it without any help (and continuing to drink). Last year I started a new relationship and a few months in my drinking problem became apparent to my partner. I promised I would get help but was scared and didn't know what exactly that meant or how to go about it. I recently did 2 months of not drinking, doing it by myself, no counseling, no AA, just no drinking. On Wednesday I drank and I drank a lot and lied to my partner about it but got caught. I don't want to lose this person and I also don't want to lose myself either. I guess my goal is to try again and this time use some tools to help me. If anyone has an suggestions I would greatly appreciate them.
