6 am? I don’t even wake up til 9 most days. Then I roll into the office around 11. By 2 or 3 I start thinking that a drink would be nice. By 5 or 6 I’m really craving it. Often feel somewhat anxious and off until I give in and have a drink.

That may be but serious alcoholism usually results in really fucked up sleep patterns. If you are sleeping normally there's a decent chance you haven't reached full blown alcoholism yet.

Fucked up sleep patterns is more right than never sleep. Some days you wake up at 4 pm, some days at 4 am. WFH again has been disasterous in this respect.

yes, but not in the sense that I crave a drink in my life or can't abstain for long periods of time. i can't stop when i start. maybe that's the distinction between a form of alcoholism and alcohol addiction

No, that's just how it starts. If you can't stop once you start, you're an alcoholic. The distinction you are looking for is when you become chemically dependent (not drinking sends you into withdrawal and you have to drink to feel normal).

Real talk that's quite bad; that's one of the key indicators of alcoholism. So you can't just have a drink? E.g., have *a* beer when you're out to dinner or *a* cocktail? You need to get loaded anytime you drink?

yes, i know it's a key indicator of alcoholism. that's why i don't drink as much any more. at this point i probably can have just one drink. i've done that at dinner the past two weeks. it was actually fine and at the end of it i didn't want another drink. but it's a slipper slope

Yes. You have to be super vigilant about your consumption. You can't just be, "oh what the hell, one more will be fine" anymore. You have to tell yourself "you will stop at one because you won't stop after two." Maybe if enough time goes by you can do "two" instead of "one," but you'll never be young and carefree again.

Go to the ER. They’ll taper you through the withdrawal with ativan or librium. The challenge will be not immediately resuming drinking when you get released. You’ll need to pick up some new hobbies as a healthy distraction. Exercise, maybe golf. If you can make it 10 days it will get easier.

I second the ER suggestion unless you are ready to go immediately to rehab, where they will give you benzos to ease the withdrawal. Rehab is probably covered by your insurance. You need a hard reset of your thinking and behavior and the next few weeks are make-or-break as far as your ability to stop drinking.

This will relieve the worst of the withdrawal symptoms, minimize brain damage during withdrawal, and give you a chance to get (and stay) sober. Also helps you sleep, which you will need help with the first few weeks:

Also, it’s cheap (generic) and prescribed by the VA for alcoholism so not sure how BigPharma benefits.

Here are some of the methods we have tried: Drinking beer only, limiting the number of drinks, never drinking alone, never drinking in the morning, drinking only at home, never having it in the house, never drinking during business hours, drinking only at parties, switching from scotch to brandy, drinking only natural wines, agreeing to resign if ever drunk on the job, taking a trip, not taking a trip, swearing off forever (with and without a solemn oath), taking more physical exercise, reading inspirational books, going to health farms and sanitariums, accepting voluntary commitment to asylums - we could increase the list ad infinitum.
