I am just glad I recognized my issues before I lost a job, my family, got a DUI, became seriously ill, etc. Now I just need to execute and stick with it before something like that does happen.
I've gotten worse. I progressed and wake up some days and think back to how much I drank and shock myself. 5-12 is average, but there is a day or two each month, I exceed probably 15-18 drinks. I'll drink from 12 noon to 2am. But most days, Id say I'm having 7-8 drinks. Like 90% of the time.
The sad thing is I used to be into bodybuilding and was fit and healthy. I used to workout most days even after say 6-8 drinks. But I can't do it anymore. I just feel drained. It's time to change.
