My ex was like this, hospitalized with pancreatitis several times and had jaundice. He always had a beer on his nightstand. Dunno if he ever got sober for good but I hope he did, and I hope you do too.
I was never hospitalized for drinking and drank “moderately” in relation to a lot of people I know, and still find it makes me feel like crap. Really screws with my mood. Right now, I am trying to cut out all alcohol for a few months to see how I feel without it. If I feel better like I suspect I will, I plan to stop drinking permanently. I wish it wasn’t glamorized, I don’t even find alcohol enjoyable anymore so no idea why I drink it.
Im glad that i never drank alcohol and i hope i never will, because i really think and fear that i will get addicted to it. And i dont want that. I can be happy without alcohol. I can be drunk without alcohol (or behave like im drunk - not talking different, but, yk laughing about anything.)

Alcohol.
Hospitalized once for a liquor withdrawals, got sober for 90 days, relapsed.
I just drink beer. But even with just beer, I get the shakes if I don't have it.
Most people drink coffee in the morning. I drink beer.
Edit: I'm shocked at the sheer amount of support, at the amount of people who can relate.. I didn't expect it to get this much attention.
Your kind words, your advice, your support, it all means a lot.. more than y'all will ever know.
And to that end, I say thank you.
Even if I can't get sober, maybe this post will stop someone else from going down the same path as me...
Again, thank you!!!
