I was for 50 of my 67 years a successful high functionary alcoholic then, in a matter of three weeks, under extreme stress, I became a nonfunctional alcoholic. In short, I began drinking during the days--all day. I never thought this would happen to me. I'd seen in happen to others but I was the lucky one. Then it happened. I'd quit drinking before but never experienced withdrawal. I've just emerged from a hospital where I was treated for acute withdrawal. Now I am at a health and wellbeing center seeking to reprioritize my life. I was looking forward to finishing my days, drink in hand, watching the river flow. That seems no longer possible.
