I have been drinking heavily for the last couple of months since my dad passed away, and now I think I’m addicted, I drink half a bottle of spirits a day and then wine too. I need to stop but don’t know where to begin, I feel I need a drink to function. I’m trying to deal with so much right now and I want to be normal again.

I drank heavy for a couple of years after my dad died, it solved nothing. If you have become physically dependent you may need medical help to quit, if not we all quit the same way. 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day at a time. There are a lot of resources here for you. I personally used this site, sobriety podcasts and audio books to help me. I’m sorry for the loss of your dad, i know how hard that is and how much that hurts.
