A friend helped me get into the hospitality business. Moved to back of house at one job, managed a bar. Oh boy. Then forties moved into a different industry. Stopped for a good time. Lost job. Started at home more. Still went out. Yes, drove drunk. UGH. Late forties, fifties, mainly home. Scared of possible legal consequences. Your list is a lot like mine. Worse things too. My recollection isn't exactly perfect. Have smoked small amounts of weed occasionally, haven't since I quit drinking. I have thought about it though. IMO, means In my opinion. Or IMHO, means in my humble opinion. Reverse tolerance means, when you pass the stage of increased tolerance. Drinking less amounts, but having the same results. Getting drunk off less booze. Basically, it's like climbing a mountain & then climbing back down.
Oh wow! I wonder if I started getting reverse tolerance? Not sure but don't wanna find out! Maybe not because in the end I could have 6 beers, 3 strong mixed drinks & 2-3 shots in 4 hours or less on an empty stomach & not feel drunk. Who knows...I just don't and CANT go back!

Your story also has many parallels with mine. Doesn't sound fun when it's all written out, does it? I pray we ALL stay sober & have the lives we dream of. (((praying)))
