just want to introduce myself!
Hi my name is Laurie and I am new to SR.
Just a little about myself -
Have been drinking for 32 years and my doc has just advised me to stop. I have liver problems...also he thinks peripheral neuropathy in both arms and legs. I have been walking "like a crab" for the last 16 months but have had a brain scan which says my brain is ok!
I have managed to stay off the booze for 29 days and starting to see the light of how much better my life has become.
My situation is.... I would like to continue with drinking but only twice a week. Started off last night with 3 double whiskeys and felt so relaxed that I had, come home again! Now tonight, have managed to control to 3 again but WILL NOT DRINK TOMORROW or the next five days.
Has anyone here been able to go back to drinking again safely after a health scare??
My family and girlfriend have begged me to give up but I think, why should I?? ..I am 57 now, and life is so short, why should I be deprived of my relaxation from a hard day at work. (and the ups and downs of daily living
Am I on the right track?
Your thoughts would be much appreciated.
