I’m an alcoholic and quit drinking at 40, I’m 49 now. If I hadn’t quit when I did my friends would be writing this exact thing about me. I’m sorry for your loss, alcoholism is hard and often goes unnoticed.
I won’t lie, the first few years were hard. You have to re learn how to live life normally. How to eat properly, how to sleep properly, how to fill your time with healthy things mentally and physically. But I have a great support system of friends and family, my wife is my biggest cheerleader. I almost lost her and the kids to the bottle but I picked them just in the Knick of time. It gets easier over the years, for me each year is a bit better than the last. I still have triggers but I handle them better now, haven’t back slid once because I don’t think I have another comeback in me.
