It does tend to go that way, and it's hard, hey. I'm guessing you made this post as you're struggling with this in some way, whether it's yourself or someone close to you, and so I just wanted to let you know that I'm here for you, and that you're not alone, but there is hope in getting better. Reach out where and when you can - it's worth it. ❤️

One of the reasons I used to drink was to help me get to sleep. But you're right. If left unchecked, it ends up causing more problems (relationship breakdowns, indigestion, driving offences, etc)
