I keep trying to quit alcohol, but I can’t stop buying “1 last bottle.” I get to the end of that last bottle and think that wasn’t a good enough drunk, so probably a couple days later I’ll buy another and the cycle continues.

I only drink after work and when I don’t have any other responsibilities, but alcoholism runs in my family and I know I’m already there. I use it to escape and I want to quit, but I just can’t. I’ll buy a bottle of whiskey and finish it in 2-3 days then wait until the weekend where what I previously mentioned happens.

I’m just looking for some motivation, advice, platitudes, etc. to kick my ass into gear. Please help
