[@damnedtolive9121]

Everything he's saying is 100% true. I was an alcoholic for a few years. I got sick, like bad sick, and went to the ER. They found that my entire system was in freefall and admitted me to the ICU. I died and was brought back. I stopped drinking cold turkey after that and honestly the first few months were devastating. I had to find new hobbies and coping mechanisms to get through it and I've been sober for over a year and a half and I dont miss it or even feel tempted by it. If anyone is where I was, take this or leave it, I'm not your mother, but once you cut out the drinking life will get unimaginably worse. Depression, anxiety, for me even suicidal thoughts at times, but all of that shit is temporary. You'll wake up one day, cant tell you exactly when, but all of the sudden when you're just be going about your day you'll realize, "Holy shit. I'm like, actually happy right now, and I'm kind of excited to just be here". Life is still hard at times, you'll get sad, hurt, anxious and even depressed, but when you're not trying to self medicate those times are fleeting and life becomes something that you *want* to do, not something you *have* to do But hey, I'm just some schmuck on the internet, so what do I know. good luck yall

I'm 41 with 3 years sober, that's good but also pathetic, if you quit right now, I promise you, by the time your my age you will have WAY less guilt and feel pretty damn good about yourself knowing you had the wisdom to quit so young. A vast majority of your life will be alcohol free and even when your 28 it'll already be years behind you! The earlier you quit, the less likely you are to develop alcohol related alzheimers later in life. And don't listen to older people who try to talk you out of quitting altogether!! They're idiots, trust me I know. If they gave a fuck about you, they would respect your path to total sobriety.

Probably true when comparing it the MDMA, cocaine and LSD its health implications are in fact worse than some of the most feared drugs out there. These drugs are addictive and cetantly not something you should put in your body often if at all but they are still not as harmful as alcholol is the proper physical functioning of our bodies.
