You better get control over your drinking behavior DA. At least you acknowledge you are drinking for the wrong reasons. That is half the battle you face.

The thing you must realize is that alcohol is not going to solve your problems. It will aggravate them, even though at the time you drink, you are partly believing otherwise.

Alcohol won't solve your loneliness. If you are feeling lonely, and somewhat bored there are other things you can do, to stimulate your mind, and to further your career. Sure, you will still feel lonely at first, but is something which you'll soon forget, as you come to enjoy the alternative activities you pursue.
Alcohol is a depressant, and will make depressions worse, and not better. So as long as you keep drinking against the depression, you are fighting an uphill struggle you can't win.

It does not mean that you have to quit drinking, but you have to have control over your desire to drink. I know you can do that, DA.
