Here we go again
Well I was 45yrs. when I last visited (12/05/2011), but fell flat on my face a few days later and haven't stopped since 3 daze ago. I'm 49 but feel like 94!! I severely increased my in take and the withdrawals are horrid 
I can't touch another droplet of alcohol or I will definately DIE!!! Wish me the best to make it this time!! Thanks, 45ncounting.....

45n counting...... let the counting begin again!
I'm same approximate age and just getting going myself. No time like the end of our 40's to start getting it right. There is still a lot of time ahead, knock on wood. Let's stay clean and enjoy it.
As to the withdrawals,... you should get in touch with a doctor if you become worried about your health. That aside, it seems that drinking copious amounts of water seems to be the best first step in cleaning out the system.
No regrets, just move forward.
Best wishes,
d

Hi and welcome back.
You/we have choices which can make our lives miserable OR great if we stop drinking. It takes a strong desire and work and changes along with patience to accomplish. Millions have done it with assistance here, AA and other options and are living a life they desired for a long period.
A strong suggestion for me was KEEP COMING, constantly as when we become lax we start believing our AV junk.
BE WELL

I was 33 but felt like i was 90 when i quit. I drank 15-20 beers a night at least and smoked at the very least 2 packs a day and was 275lbs. I'd wake up in the middle of the night just wishing i'd friggen die already i'd hobble to the bathroom in total agony and pain all my bones and joints hurt so badly. I coudlnt breathe all night from all the smoking. Many nights i'd wake up drunk to go pee and my wife would stop me from peeing int he closet on the tv or on the bathroom floor rather then the toilet. i was so drunk I had no idea what i was doing. I even managed to barf all over her one night in my drunken stupor. why shes still with me i have no idea. I had panic attacks non stop etc.. I wished the snooze button on my alarm clock was a revolver instead. I hated when that alarm went off.
Now I'm 37 160lbs I run 70 miles a week i dont smoke or drink and i feel great i'm in the best physical shape of my life. I out run the local highschool kids etc.. its sad and comical at the same time.
Point is your never too old you can over come this. All i did was quit one day at a time and just put one foot in front of the other. No matter how hard things got/get I realized i just gotta keep moving forward. going back to the drink isnt an option so long as i keep moving forward things seem to work themselves out.

My Plan
My Plan is that if I don't stop I DIE, like my brothers did. I have tried countless times to quit to no avail..... But it's now or never this time and I am still sober, but in extreme agony (dry drunk, can't sleep, etc. I'm sure you know the routine!! The reason is; that I read that each time you try to quit and start again it gets worse/dangerous to quit that poison, but I'm taking vitamins, lots of water/Gatorade and slowly eating a little more each day (soft foods - soup, crackers, soft boiled egg, etc. I tried AA quite a few times and it didn't work for me. All they talked about @ meetings was alcohol and the horror stories associated with it. I like this site much better! Thanks for asking!! 45n
Do your best

Hi 45 SR is a great site for support
Things in a plan could be checking in to SR daily, Trying an alternative to AA if that didnt fit, speaking with a Dr about help with WD & further help like group therapy, writing a journal of your recovery
Glad your here
