To get something like pleasure from just walking my dog. Or able to remember stuff...apparently when coming out of another induced coma, those caring for me in hospital, thought my cognition was so bad..I would need a carer to help with showering, shopping, paying bills. That wasn't the case long term...but it was down to 2 choices- keep drinking and die a slow, very lonely death, There would be no excuses/reasons to rationalise to hide behind.
Choice 2...stop boozing and fight to live a better life.
