First day sober after 4 1/2 decades - help
Here's my story: I (m55) have been in and out of sobriety for almost11 years. I started drinking when I was 12, and have been binge drinking ever since. I would go to high school and drink before going to school,drinking almost a handle almost every day. I've always known that I've been an alcoholic. After college, I became a successful business owner and was making a lot of money, but I was still drinking my life away. I recently relapse, hard relapse actually. I had to go to the hospital this morning because I mixed medication and alcohol. I'd like to take my family back to the good life and get better.
Does anyone have any suggestions to help me get through this? It's been 4 and a half decades and I need to figure a way to stop drinking.
