Alcoholism kind of ruined my life

in my late teens/early 20's. I literally used to drink like 3-4 times a week, black out at least once or twice. Lost friends, opportunities. Hurt people. did things i regret. It got really bad in 2022 when i had a job i absolutely hated. I would clock 20k steps a day, eat a ham sandwich for lunch, and then go home and have rum and cokes. If i wasn't drinking i would just smoke my brains out. I lost 40 pounds in like 4 months. I couldn't do anything social with friends without drinking. I am still recovering and i am not quitting but now i can go several months without even a sip. I slipped during christmas and had maybe one too many for too many nights (but never got too drunk! they were good nights!) and i slipped tonight during dry january for 1 (ONE) drink. Progress is never linear. But going from 4 DRUNKS a week to 1 DRINK a month (OR LESS) is insane!!
