There is life after alcohol, been sober over twenty years and still having fun! Don't jump from dead horse onto another! Hit a few AA meetings to find out if you really are and alcoholic. If not, then maybe you can control it and slow down, if not, then you'll have to join the group of people who know how to have fun without alcohol and being drunk and stupid.
Good Luck and Best Wishes!
