Brain Problems

I am starting to feel the long term effects of my alcoholism.

I have felt "disassociated" with myself for some time now. I originally thought it due to a possible ear infection. Now more recently I have struggled with short term memory problems and even occasional speech problems.

I am a professional who is in charge of a large group of people and I definitely fear the effects my impairments are having on my abilities to perform my job.

I want to stop, yesterday, but I am finding it impossible to go more than 2 days without giving in.

Truth be told im scared of "losing" myself as my brain slowly dies.

Pattong, I agree - see a doctor post haste and be totally honest about your drinking. Don't hold any relevant information back.
