I stopped neither and as i say it went on for years and years (13 actually). Complete denial. Several hospitalizations, then hit bottom with a big relapse. Went into a rehab and, with aftercare and counseling, plus help from an AA Agnostics group (although I'm not an Agnostic or Atheist) have been sober for 28 years. Am now approaching 90 and if anyone says i'm a "dry drunk" because I no longer go to meetings, that's O.K. with me. I'm feeling better than I've ever felt. No alcoholic cravings. Addicted to my dog.
