It's seems to be an easy answer that I'm struggling with.
Every morning I wake up angry with myself & swear I'll never do it again. By 3 my mind begins convincing myself it's ok, tonight will be the last time. Just one more night.
I drink a bottle of wine each night. If I'm out with friends I can control my drinking however as soon as I'm alone I drink to get drunk.
I know it started due to depression 2 years ago, an escape of sorts. I've called rehabs and they seem to laugh, I guess a bottle of wine should be easy however it isn't. Tonight is the first time in 2 month that I've been sober. Before the one night in October it was a night in June.
I use to workout all the time now I have no energy. I struggle to workout, depressed the cycle continue, leave the gym I buy a bottle go home and swear tomorrow I'll try again.
I don't know if anyone has any suggestions that my help. I know I just need to stop.

Hi onlyonebody,
Congratulations on being sober last night! That is great!
There are many resources for you, and yes...a bottle of wine IS something to be taken seriously and you DO need to seek treatment. There is help out there for you...we can help you find it!
Can you tell us what your location is (zipcode if in the U.S.), and please feel free to click on my name to send me a PM if you prefer not to post it here. I can send you some phone numbers or websites that I find that can help you.
Do you have health insurance, or currently employed? Many employers have EAP (employee assistance programs) that provide FREE or very affordable addiction counseling services. Your employee handbook should have this information, or if you are at a University, the Counseling Center would be a good place to start. You can also call your health insurance company (or check their website) for resources. Lastly, call your primary care doctor for references, too.
You can also join the Empowher Addiction group: https://www.empowher.com/groups/addiction
I look forward to hearing from you soon!
