Haveing been in the hospiality trade for over 40 yrs, I was in a culture of drinking , it being available all the time, so that meant every day. then one night 8 yrs ago got caught on the breathalizer. There and then I said enough is enough and went cold turkey, havent had a drink since. Went for a check up not long after and doctor said the alcohol had knocked my pancreas around over the years, so I am type 2 diabetic. There are thousands of stories like mine. I never thought Id make it to 50 never mind 60, and feeling better than I did in my 20s. Another Coffin dodger, or only the good die young.
