So fun. It's the greatest. I'm so glad I drank for 12 yrs in an insane downward spiral of drinking a bottle of wine a night (insert maniacal laugh). What is your physical deterioration or consequence?

That's beautiful.
I got no teeth, not because of drugs, just because I'm too dumb to brush my teeth on drugs
Eh, that's pretty harsh
Oof. Do you have dentures?

Where do I start? Blood pressure off the rails for 10 years. Not to be gross, but polyps in my colonoscopies, non-cancerous thank God.. (I know that could be from a myriad of things but I am thinking it’s the alcohol). Short-term memory lapses. And I’m sure even though I’m getting older, some of these physical pains I’m feeling have a direct relation to my alcohol abuse over the decades. On the flipside, I’m getting better. Numbers are looking more normal, and I understand this disease so much more. Sleep it’s so much better. Perpetual work in progress.

I’ve lost a significant amount of dexterity in my hand due to nerve damage from a career of heavy drinking.

Grateful for my 'imaginary' friends like God and the Saints that I talk to because of the psychosis I sowed in my addictions. It doesn't go away, but many of the demons have.

The only physical consequence of my addiction (besides dying a few times) was the 12 years I spent in jail or prison.
Dying!? Holy cow.
Yup. That’s Fentanyl for you
I stopped before my liver did. Thank you Jesus! Thank you AA!

I have been drinking for 40+ years, I ended up in hospital they told me I had to quit drinking, so I did, cold turkey and stopped smoking (also 40 years. I was totally out of it it's been a year i just relapse last week drank a whole bottle of vodka.
Mostly blind in my left eye due to getting kicked in the eye, and then not getting the medical attention I needed in a timely manner due to being in and out of jail and generally using drugs instead of taking care of myself
It's crazy how fast we can drink when we relapse!
