Nick,
You went off the deep end pretty fast.
I feel that I drank way harder than you for a really long time and didn't end up in your shoes until I was into my late 40's.
Either way, we both know booze is poison. We are addicts for life. If we pick up again, we will probably go crazy then die.
So, I don't drink anymore.
I work out a lot. It is really starting to show after about 3 years. I was a fat pig when I quit. I weighed about 250 lbs. and had no stamina.
Now I am about 218 pounds and work out at least 5 times a week for about 1 to 2 hours at a time.
I eat clean as I can, but I am not afraid to enjoy a big plate of whatever I like sometimes.
I still suffer from my years of drinking, but it is getting better by the moment.
Stay clean.
Well done.
Thanks.
