3. It is taking a toll on you physically, but you can't moderate your behavior?

So how much of a toll before you see a reason to recover? I was so young when I got sober that the physical health was not a huge issue. But I could not stand the alcoholic hangovers anymore. It seemed like they were getting worse and worse and I could not moderate my drinking so as not to be so sick in the mornings. So I went to a few AA meetings. Eventually I caught on and did begin to recover and voila! No more sick, alcoholic hangovers!

Good luck. Hope you get it sorted out.
