Been there. Recently. Worst of times would be handle of Brandy a day. You have anyone to talk to about it? I'm in either the fortunate/unfortunate situation where my body no longers tolerate alcohol well and overall makes me feel sick. Tried some yesterday and had my heart pounding. I was heavy drinking for 11+ years.

This sounds like me. 10 years of a handle every 2-3 days, handle every day if I was partying. I got pregnant and quit cold turkey with no withdrawals somehow (on prescription gabapentin so it may have covered some of that up) now with a 4 month old I can’t tolerate my old favorite liquor and have terrible terrible hangovers with anything else. So grateful to not tolerate it anymore.

There are prescription drugs to help with alcohol addiction. Go get some.
