I saw a video on YouTube that people on the stopdrinking subreddit were talking about. Kurzgesagt’s Alcohol video and now I’m fucking terrified. I already suffer from health anxiety and that video sent me over the edge.
I’m a 38 year old male and I’ve been binge drinking on weekends for about 20 years. I’m terrified that I’ve done irreparable damage to me my body. I’ve had liver enzymes tested and they were slightly above normal, nothing too crazy. I actually stopped drinking for a month once and they were normal. However, I’m still freaking out.
I’ll stick to it. I’m ready to be healthy.
It doesn’t stick until suddenly one day it does stick. Stay with it! I had so many Day 1s, but today is my first day 4874. Health returned over time, these days I feel great and any accumulated damage from the Dirty Decades doesn’t show up in tests. 🙏
