Hi Pouncer, long time no see
There seems to be a negative spiral of bad health leading to drinking which of course is bad for your health and probably (well possibly) means you miss taking meds so they don't work as effectively as they should so you feel worse leading to more drinking.
Rinse
Repeat
If you broke the cycle by not drinking and spent all you available free time addressing, researching, understanding your health issues and what to do to improve them it might break the merry go round
You're made of the right stuff Pouncer, i'm sure it would upset DJT if people like you got sober
