I'm an alcoholic too. 2 nights ago, I could have died because of it. I shan't go into details, but let's just say it has been a wake-up call.
Divaveda, please feel free to PM me any time. Just reading your post has already made me feel less alone. I think it is always best to try and deal with one addiction at a time, though the 2 can certainly go together. In the past, I have been very guilty of ending a heavy night's drinking with a carb binge. Filling out my PLAN every day on this website has made me realise just how many of my daily calories were coming from alcohol -a whopping 40% on average! It has also helped me to stay motivated and accountable. I have come to fully realise how much my drinking was standing in the way of the body I have always wanted -in spite of carefully watching my diet and hours of working out. Body aside, I am in danger of losing everything good in my life if I do not stop drinking.
WE CAN DO THIS!!!
