It's also very dangerous and harmful but that usually doesn't become apparent until later, I feel.
Keep an ear to the tracks of your own physical and mental wellbeing. Everyone is different and comparing yourself to others when it comes to alcohol dependence is not good - it's how I was in denial for so many years about my own drinking.
I'm now 2533 days without a drink. It took years before I truly started to feel content and OK and like I didn't still want/need to drink. I gave up smoking about a year before quitting the drink and now I vape weed now and again (which so really helped in the early days of quitting drinking).
Keep trying to be honest with yourself and with your partner. Keep trying to be happy. Thanks for posting and for encouraging others to share insight...!

One of the best things I've read in a while and I'm only halfway through - emotional, honest, beautifully light and brutally dark.
I lived in Glasgow's east end for years and the book seems to portray the insanity of Glasgow and the deprivation in Scotland's central belt very accurately.

I must have played through each one at least half a dozen times now.
I'm more into thrash and noise and that type of thing but off the top of my head you could have a look at;
Mgła (black metal)
Kat i Roman Kostrzewski (satanic/biblical)
They're not new but maybe off the radar and recently active. Kat's last album before Kostrzewski's death, Popiór (2019) is a blinder if you're into that type of melodic dark satanic thrash heavy death sound...).
The following are some bands I'm into at the mo and although they aren't black metal, may still do something for you;
Mantar (argh so good)
Nails
Leper Colony
Blackened
Author & Punisher (slow, industrial, but dark and heavy)
As an aside - this thread is brilliant so thank you OP for asking the question. From the other responses so far, I've already found a bunch of new interesting bands that I look forward to listening to. Furthermore it's great to see so many people enthusiastically posting about metal generally. Thanks everyone.
