I used to be a heavy drinker. Now I'm just an occasional drinker.
It was tough and shitty, but it's possible to grow a dick and balls and not have to go full AA/no alcohol for the rest of your life.

Well you have to want to drink less, first of all. Take responsibility for your actions instead of the bullshit that AA is preaching and talk to a doctor first. Then wean yourself off over time. Doctors can prescribe shit that help with anxiety. I've tried quitting cold turkey a couple of times and it sucked and didn't stick until I forced myself to drink less and less over a couple of weeks. It still sucked, but withdrawals weren't nearly as bad.

Then the hard part is figure out why you're drinking and actively work on that. Nights for me were and sometimes still rough, so I had to fill a lot of time with different shit. New hobbies, walks, podcasts.

But who knows, everybody's different. Maybe AA will work for you, just statistically it's no more effective than people quitting heavy drinking without it. Also I think people that are proud of being sober for x amount of years and can't handle a drink every once in a while are weak people. A beer with a meal or a couple while you're enjoying something every once in a while is fine. An adult should be able to handle that.

If you don't drink and smoke, doing that now will make you sick rather than providing you with some hours of peace.

Look, I don't know your situation in the slightest, so I can't give you any concrete advice on how to deal with your current problems. However, you do, and I'm sure you can think of a way of making it better. If you have to go homeless again, then so be it, but use that experience as motivation to do whatever it takes never to be in that situation again.

I will pray for you right now and ask God to help you, but I also invite you to pray, even if you don't believe. Both the Our Father and the Hail Mary are powerful prayers that do help, I assure you.

What really amazes me about alcohol is just how seductive the addiction is. One month I'll be drinking every single day and then the next month I'll be sober wondering how the fuck I drank that much. It's strange. I haven't had any alcohol since Aug 31st until two days ago when I thought I was having a heart attack so I got hammered but I didn't relapse cause I didn't drink again since and am planning on continuing my sobriety. It's a weird demon. I think the years of boozing develops these super strong dopaminergic pathways which start to fade the longer you abstain but the second you have even just one beer the entire brain lights up craving more.

Not all therapists are created equal and it is one of those things that you kind of have to keep working on. You should give another one a try. You don't just do half a round of antibiotics and stop and expect them to work. You also have to actively work on it outside of therapy and do other shit to improve your situation. Setting goals and learning new hobbies helps.
