Alcoholics Anonymous also known as The Big Book. I’m not being sarcastic or obnoxious if you need help you should start there and go to an AA meeting and get a sponsor to work the 12 steps with you. Ask me if any questions.

>Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

Don't matter what book it is as long as you pick it up every time you want a drink instead of the bottle. Finding actual support is worth while, plenty of professionals and various groups out there to pick from and you can always take a break and enter a rehab. Nice thing about rehabs, employer can not fire you while you are there (at least in the US), addiction falls under a disability and as long as you are seeking help you can not be fired.

AA is more agnostic than theist, there are probably a handful of strict theist AAs but their general line is that God is what every you want it to be and they replaced the word "God" with "higher power" decades ago. In my experience the vast majority of people in AA are agnostic or atheist. Fucking dilettante tradcath born again larpers.

I found Living Sober very helpful.
Probably more helpful than the big book.
I went to meetings a lot back before the pandemic live meetings were easy to find.
Zoom meetings are very easy to find and you get to globetrot a bit.
I’ve been to online zoom meetings in England, Ireland Scotland and Australia
We’ve had people come to our meetings from all over too. Mostly England but we’ve had Japanese, Swedish and South Africans as well.

Also if you’re getting the shakes without drinking, see a doctor. You might need to detox. Don’t fuck around with the shakes you could go into a seizure
If you just feel miserable, coffee or ginger ale and some candy bars should get you through the sugar crash. And get to a lot of meetings.

It doesn't have to be God, it can be a "higher power", if that helps.

AA has proven itself over many years to be the most effective recovery method.

Get on your knees before bed each night and thank the higher power you didn't drink.

Get on your knees each morning and ask for strength to not drink.

Repeat.

Are you some kind of Odinist or something?

Please don't say you're Catholic because Catholics aren't required to receive the blood. The laity weren't even able to receive it until Vatican 2....
