Puck,
Welcome aboard! Fellow vodka binger here - it was great until it wasn’t. At the end of my drinking career I started to have gout attacks on a regular basis. Now, two years later, my gout is gone.
One thing to think about regarding neuropathy is your age: if you have such problems now at 35, there will be hell to pay 20 years from now. The mere thought of being tied to a wheelchair should be enough to strengthen your resolve.
It is awesome that you are starting to get your s#&t together! What is your short term plan to stay sober?
