I was in a similar situation, multi-millionaire, still am, drank about every day for 5-7 years.

My schedule was a little different than yours, I kept it to 3 a night for a very long time, then I started having one at lunch, at the end I averaged 6 - 8 on a normal day, and twice a month let loose and drink 14 - 16. My drinks were normally spread throughout the day.

My life became a monotonous hamster wheel, same thing every day on repeat, lost interest in most things other than drinking, spent thousands of hours having meaningless conversations I don’t remember in every bar in town.

At one point I took a year off work, I got my drinking routine really nailed down, I got out of shape, I was spiritually bankrupt, emotionally dead, my life was meaningless, and hollow. I kept on like that for another year.

After wanting to “cut back” for 3 years, I managed to quit for 45 days. I felt like I saw a glimpse of life. Then went right back to the hamster wheel, I was out of shape, I smelled bad, I was boring to talk to, or embarrassing.

Then one day, after a normal night of drinking, I woke up deeply sad, not depressed, but like grief. I quit that day, planning to just take a break for a couple weeks, but once the ball was rolling, I realized it might be my last chance, and I held on for dear life. That was about 2 1/2 years ago. I’m still sober.

In my time sober stuff has gone insanely well, I know it’s partly luck, but I more than 3x’d my wealth, and have 10+ M it was partly luck and partly a lot of work, and there’s no chance in hell I could have done it drunk.

Life isn’t easy though, and I’m not super happy, but at least now I’m living a life, I’m working, in my career, on my self, and for my friends and family.
