- Fear of further liver damage
- I gained 35kg of weight. Couldn't even tie my own shoes - was asking my wife to do it for me sometimes.
- Fear of early death
- Feeling sick every single day
- Do not remember half of my life
- Hangovers
- Couldn't work really - drinking at work.
- Want to get my life back.
- I wasn't a real person anymore. Wasn't doing anything else other than drinking. I was not able to complete simple chores like setting up the washing machine.
- This list can go on forever.
Since I stopped, my health improved dramatically. People that I work with that didn't know I had this issue are saying that I look really well lately. Lost some weight. I got my life back and I will never go back to drinking(I hope!). The best thing I did in my life was to quit.
Just do it. Ignore that voice telling you that you overreacted - it's the addiction talking, not you. One step at a time.
