NickDay 2364I could cut and paste many of the comments here and would be true for me. I didn't drink after doing the TAE back in April 2020 for almost three years.

I realize drinking is not controllable for me... it's either on or off...and I want to get back in shape, trail running, cycling and have a positive outlook. I know being alcohol free is the only choice for me.

Day 1 for the millionth time. I started getting tingly hands while sleeping which my doctor and I attributed to carpal tunnel. In the last week, I've been feeling in my arms and legs. I'm starting to get very scared that this is alcohol induced. I was drinking a bottle of wine every other night. I'm perimenopausal and I think drinking is not the same for me anymore. I black out so much more often. I'm scared, tired and feel anxious.

Used TNM back in Nov 2020 and quit for 3 full years. Figured I had this now, so I slowly started allowing a drink here and there. Fast forward almost 2 years later and I'm right back to "1 drink means 5 or 6 drinks", feeling like crap, tired, health issues coming back. I am 62 next month and need to get back to no alcohol. I want to enjoy this wonderful age I am at, not spend it at doctors offices or too tired to do anything all day. Learning experience, moderation is not an option for me!
