I had to deal with injury, surgeries, and the opioid thing on top of alcohol, as well. So good to have that all behind me.
I wanted to add to what I posted that on top of being sick of hangovers, I had to admit to myself that I was deeply miserable before I decided to quit alcohol for good. What I was doing wasn't working. Luckily, I was sober for a year before injuries and opioids became an issue, so as much as the painkillers were a risk, I was already well into recovery when that all hit me.
