Glad you're pursuing help. Back when I was working security at a hospital we used to frequently have to do PA (patient assists) on people struggling with alcoholism/severe intoxication and it was almost always an ugly experience due to their disposition and condition. It really gave me some insight and helped me realize habits about myself that I needed to correct.

If I can get a bit trite: The first step is difficult, and the following steps are going to be a challenge as well, but it's worth it. Keep on it and feel free to drop a line if you ever feel like you want to talk (Of course, your sponsor is always the best option here).
