I'm a quitter.

Hi gang.
I'm new here, came for some advice on side effects after a loooooooot of years of vodka and rum consumption.

Glad to be here and I look forward to 'meeting' all of you in the forums.

I'll ask...

Are you asking because you are ready to quit? Or you asking to see how much longer you can drink?

welcome

Thanks for the replies guys. I posted my story in another forum but I quit a 24 year hard alcohol habit 9 days ago. A few side effects but I'm absolutely LOVING the freedom I now have. The ability to DRIVE after work hours is completely new to me.

Love to you all and thanks again for saying Hi!
