I drank neat liquor every night for years. If you fall into 50ft hole don't expect to jump 50ft out.

Let me tell you a story anon.

The North Wind and the Sun had a quarrel about which of them was the stronger. While they were disputing with much heat and bluster, a Traveler passed along the road wrapped in a cloak.

"Let us agree," said the Sun, "that he is the stronger who can strip that Traveler of his cloak."

"Very well," growled the North Wind, and at once sent a cold, howling blast against the Traveler.

With the first gust of wind the ends of the cloak whipped about the Traveler's body. But he immediately wrapped it closely around him, and the harder the Wind blew, the tighter he held it to him. The North Wind tore angrily at the cloak, but all his efforts were in vain.

Then the Sun began to shine. At first his beams were gentle, and in the pleasant warmth after the bitter cold of the North Wind, the Traveler unfastened his cloak and let it hang loosely from his shoulders. The Sun's rays grew warmer and warmer. The man took off his cap and mopped his brow. At last he became so heated that he pulled off his cloak, and, to escape the blazing sunshine, threw himself down in the welcome shade of a tree by the roadside.

Be the sun, not the wind. If you haven't already, switch out some of your liquor for beer or wine and taper. Don't pour it all down the drain, don't swear it off forever, all that drama is feminine thinking which is what alcohol promotes. Do it in an even keeled, surehanded way and you'll take care of it.

tl;dr you have to stop, but being hard on yourself won't work and is probably why you started anyway
