Want to hear similar stories
So I’m 55 and drank for the first time at 16. Then I didn’t drink much till I was at collage where I binged. Although binging every time I drank I could give or take for the next 20 years. From about 40 I’ve tried stopping many times and have had at least a month, and up to 6 months sober every years since. Last year I was sober for 10 months in total.
I need to stop as I am getting worse. I still abstain during the week and binge on the weekends. I’m beginning to fall and hurt myself and I’m getting worried about all the abuse my body has taken. At present all my blood work is excellent but I usually get my health checks at the end of a sober period.
id like to hear from those around my age who stopped and had a similar drinking history. How are you doing? How is your health? Tell me about how things have improved for you? Anything is fine. I will look for your stories to help me look forward to a future without alcohol. As at present the future looks grey and dull.
