Hi Everyone!
I am in my 30s, originally from France, currently living in eastern europe.
Feels kind of strange to write this here, but I am now certain that I have a drinking problem, and that I need to fix it.
My problem started during my studies, which were extremely intensive and unfair. I made it out and reached my dream: obtaining my PhD, being an economist.
But this happened at a cost that I ignored back then: addiction to coffee to keep up, have energy to do all that needs to be done from early morning to late evening / night, to then end up with alcohol in front of a movie to manage to fall asleep.
I was not drinking so often at first, one beer, on glass of wine, each two days or so. But it little by little became a habit. If I watch something, I need to drink something.
In the end alcohol became a (fake) stress relieve tool, that I was / am using to deal with anxiety.
As I had to face the death of close family members, it became worse.
I realised that I have a real addiction issue when setting up this app and seeing that I could barely manage to last a week without drinking anything.
Feels like there is always a reason, argument with my girlfriend, too much work, etc., etc.
I am still able to stop myself from drinking and I am not getting myself drunk every time I drink (its actually pretty rare). But I do drink enough to be dizzy, and it makes me worrry.
I did therapy to help myself with the death of my close ones, but not for my addiction. I somehow feel like it would work better if I had a sponsor to help me through this.
I dont know if I am at the right place, but I feel like this community cannot do me wrong in any case ! 
Thanks guys.
