Alternative behavior: It's perfectly fine to have times when you get upset and angry about what life has given to bvb you. But it's what you do at those times that makes a difference. right now you go out and drink. You know that isn't working for you. While you are calm and desiring to change, pick a different response so next time you are upset, you don't fall back on old habits and have different response to try.

Drinking: Even though it is a challenge to face responsibilities and stay sober, it is not some invisible force, but something you can work on to master. Getting sober is the basis for any progress. Please look into 12 step programs such as AA, get a sponsor, work the program. Many meetings are on Zoom these days. Lack of sobriety can destroy your marriage, family and health. You can do it!
