Congratulations. You have had one of the healthiest epiphanies you will ever have. I relate very much, although I am probably twice your age. I wish I had that realization 30 years ago.

If you ever have a strong urge to drink again, if it's legal where you are, a light dose of THC might satisfy you instead. It's not for everyone, but that's worked very well for me.

Again, congratulations. Getting away from alcohol is a move so healthy, you should be proud of yourself for it.
