Agreed.. It gets nastier and nastier as you get older. You have a wonderful opportunity to direct your life in the right direction at 24. I was too naive even stupid maybe kept partying until addiction took over and then I felt the "hell"
In recovery since joining SR in March 2016 at 40 years old.
Take care of yourself.
Your on a slippery path.
Agreed. I’m 43 and, while I didn’t have trouble stopping, I’ve felt worse physically on and off since I stopped drinking this January past than I probably have done at any time before. Physically I’ve checked out fine, but the fact I’ve felt so lousy suggests that there has been damage done nevertheless — unavoidable if you drink on and off for 20+ years, as I have. Equally, I’m likely not recovering quickly because, again, I’m no spring chicken and have had a long and complicated history with alcohol. And, finally, I’ve wasted years in thrall to a bottle and that’s sad and rather pathetic all at the same time. Do yourself a favour and stop now: like Vman says, it’s a slippery slope and there’s no crash barrier at the bottom.
Stick close. Best to you: I’m sending you all my support.
