I’m a happy and harmless drunk, so Alcoholics Anonymous is not for me.
I started when I was 16 and have continued my entire life. Five or six cocktails each evening is the norm for me.
People tell me I am the easiest-going guy they have ever met. I coached my two sons for years in baseball. I never drank before games or practices. I never drink before any type of public function, and never drive drunk. I doubt I could quit cold turkey. I have the shakes when I wake up in the morning, and I usually have one drink before noon just to keep my heart from pounding out of my chest.A lot of people in my age group have lots of health problems.
You are relying on a 5-year-old physical for evidence that you are healthy. Your first step should be to have a thorough checkup; describe your alcohol addiction frankly and honestly with your physician, and ask for advice on how to address it. My father would either cancel or be late about half the times we were scheduled to play, which was stressful.
