silence7RFK Jr. and the White House buried a major study on alcohol and cancer. Here’s what it shows.
My 20s and early thirties are a blur. 2009-2015 is pretty much completely missing from my memory. My 6 year binge (with my overall drinking) might have some presents for me in my future.
I’ve been sober for 2 years but it does scare me that I already did the damage. Oh well I guess. At the time, it was my coping mechanism. I don’t have cravings anymore because now I can clearly see it as poison but the damage might already be done.
As someone who drinks pretty much every day, how much were you drinking??
It was different every day but the absolute minimum was a 6 pack. That was on a day I had things to do. If I had a day where I had obligations, I’d settle for a six pack with a 6%abv because I could regulate it by the hour because of my body weight.
On average I was drinking a handle a day. Easy.
On days I was trying to “regulate myself” I was still drinking 9%abv IPAs.
Was in it.
Thank you for the insight and well done from staying sober!
Sorry the answer wasn’t so concise. I was drunk everyday and learned to mask it. Some days I failed masking it or shorthanded how much I’d had to drink and it caught up with me.
Have had MANY incidents that would keep the layperson up at night for the rest of their lives. I’m just built different.
I’ve spent a collected 1 year in county jail. 6 months was the longest stretch. I’ve avoided prison but that 6 month stretch made me wish for prison.
I’ll say my boredom now (when I drank it helped speed up the day, I just wanted the day to be over) is constructive. I’m playing piano and guitar again. I’m writing.
Things still suck but I know they’ll suck whether sober or drunk so I just do sober. Saves me money
