Thank you for posting your story, Marcher 13! You're very brave.
Yep, in my 50's - started to wonder if all those little aches and pains and heartburn and palpitations and what-all could be alcohol-related in the morning when I felt exhausted and slightly hung over, but I forgot about them come evening time and a cold bottle.
Sober 9 days, and no heartburn/palpitations and aching a lot less. Coincidence? I think not.
