You don't need an easier job, you need to quit. An easier job will entice you to drink more and before you know it that easy job becomes hard. It's a vicious circle.
Many more people than those who admit it have a problem, but once you KNOW you have a problem there is only one solution: Quit.
Not for a week or a month, but for a year. If you can't do a year, you know you're _severely_ addicted. And severe addiction if it goes untreated will ALWAYS end in disaster or death.
Once you've done a year you will see how much of your happiness and resilience has returned and you don't want to go back. You might go back and fuck up again and then realize you have to quit for good, but that's a battle for another day.
Find help or check into a clinic if you can afford it. Groups helped me tremendously. See if you can find an English speaking one. It's not so much about people helping you with your problem. It's about sharing your experiences with people who won't judge you. You don't know what you're missing if you've never had it. Give it a chance.
Go and buy books. Some people swear by Allan Carr's Easy Way to Stop Drinking. I found his books to only help with smoking, but some prominent figures like his book on drinking too.
Get educated on the subject.
Most likely (99%) your brain hasn't experienced lasting damage YET. The damage you experience (trouble focusing and remembering) will heal over the next 1 - 7 years completely if you stop. Science has a pretty good idea of this apparently. (The drug has been around a long time)
So there are two messages here: Be glad you've identified the problem now. It's not too late to regain everything you want. BUT: If you change nothing you will succumb to the sauce and lose everything like millions and millions before you.
It's a dangerous, dangerous position to be in. Treat it accordingly and make solving that problem the Number 1 issue in your life.
