The good news here is that you realize that you must stop. I endured 3 arrests before I stopped. I am an unusual bird, as I quit the day my son said"mom you've got to stop". I quit drinking and smoking right then and there . I have never been to a meeting, as I have found this journey to be a severely private one. I can relate to your comment about hating and destroying yourself. As that is what I was doing as well. The irony of my situation, and the reason I am even on this site is that my son is now struggling with alcohol! I feel so helpless and in just disbelief, after he watched me (till he was 9 years old) drink heavily............how can he do this?
Clean yourself up, I was 37 on my day of awakening, you have many years to enjoy. Don't waste another day! Good luck, love yourself, you're worth it.
