almost 40
damage done
LOL, no.
I am legit blown away that this greentext didn’t end with Open the door, get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur. I was absolutely sure that would be how it ended after reading the penultimate paragraph
Should have kept drinking. Nothing to look forward to in sobriety.
That’s a bullshit lie, as someone who battled alcoholism for over a dozen years and finally got my shit together.
Similar situation and I second this. Life is better in every way once you pry alcoholism away from it.
I third this, it was where all the waste lie in my life. Quitting drinking made quitting smoking easier, which made exercising easier, all of which gave me a more positive outlook, and before I knew it, I had myself the best girl I could have ever asked for (she asked ME out), my home was clean, I had the energy to clean and cook and type out run-on sentences for days!
Quit at 36, I’m 38, best two years of my adult life. Plenty more to go. Glad to be on the same journey as you fellas
I didn’t want to elaborate originally because this is a meme community after all, but one of the biggest things I will say is that being gripped with alcoholism truly felt like living life as a stunted person in arrested development. Between the constant drunk/hangover cycle, the depression and anxiety, and just the general shame it felt impossible to maintain the consistency necessary to truly grow as a person.
I was very aware of how problematic my behavior was from the beginning, but that didn’t make it any easier. My father died in a sudden accident a month or two after my 21st and alcohol was my coping mechanism. It sucks to feel like I now have to refigure out who I am in my 30’s and reconcile with all the lost time, but today is always better than never.
Glad to hear you successfully made it to this point as well ☺️
This was me with weed until I was 30. So glad I quit sooner than later.
Fellas, is it gay to really really like a girl?
A girl without dick is like an angel without wings

Fuck yeah it can.
You’ve poisoned yourself to the point where your body now has a dependence on the poison.
Nuts
Withdrawal sucks ass. I should have checked into rehab last time, but didn’t. I had emergency numbers on standby and someone to check on me, but that was about it.
I was in bed for about a week, but pulled through. It took about 6 months for the cravings to slow down, and another 6 until my brain started to function properly. My weight shot up about 50 lbs, but I have finally lost all of that. Heart problems that me and my doc were trying to figure out disappeared as well.
Learning life again was weird and I am a much different person now. People have called me nice and fun to be around, which is super weird. Life does get better.
