  1. I'm in my late 30s and I'm a successful business owner but I have been battling addiction from genetics and environmental factors since my early teens. I get addicted to all things good and bad whether it's eating, sex, watching TV, drinking too much, exercise, working too much and just about any other thing that you could get addicted and really into. I've never gotten into any hard drugs although I have experienced a lot of the not so hard drugs like more party style drugs. Alcohol is definitely the biggest pain for me and I feel like it stunts my personal and professional development however I cannot seem to slay this Dragon. My goal is not to quit completely although I would like to for some sort of extended period of time to prove myself that I can't. I don't think that I have ever gone longer than a week or two since I started drinking. I've thought about going to a 30 day detox plan and stuff like that but I just don't have the time with all of my responsibilities that I'm juggling. I wonder if anyone else is having the same battle him what you did to get past it. I have gone to meetings and I have read all sorts of books like Alan Carr is how to control alcohol and other books on addiction but still having a difficult time. Thanks everyone and I look forward to participating in these awesome forums.
