I started off with less and it just progressed until it got to be this much but I didn't think it was that much honestly. I know several people that drink more than me so I never thought it was a problem until recently when I couldn't get it for a few days

I used to drink that amount daily too. I too, didn’t realise it wasn’t normal as friends &amp; family were all heavy drinkers. The realisation that most people don’t even drink was the first step to becoming sober. It took me about a decade to stop drinking after that first realisation. 

Two audiobooks I can recommend are ‘drink? By professor David Nutt’ &amp; ‘the unexpected joy of being sober by Catherine Gray’. Also ‘why has nobody told me this before? By Julie Smith’ is a good starting point for self care, which will be a learning process.

Things are much better now I don’t drink a bottle of vodka per day.
