Alcohol is a fucking bitch, it's hitting you worse every year you get older.
Congrats for quitting, it's the very first step, and if you remember to not forget that it's useless and neurotoxic, you will stay away.
I, for myself, got fed up feeling control loss with advancing age when i was drunk. That was the experience which made me keep my hands off it, while i do drink a few times a year, but i handle it very differently than before.
My father died after multiple organs failed. Reason: Painkillers and alcohol.
My mother is on the edge of dementia in her early 70s, started her fifth withdrawal last week (benzos, Z's and alcohol) and that is keeping me busy at the time.
No details this time, it's exhausting to even think about the current situation.
I can only urge to try keeping your hands off it. forever.
