I’m so sorry to hear that. Yeah, stopping alcohol or benzodiazepine consumption completely after years is the equivalent of pushing the gas pedal in your brain all the way to the floor. Scary stuff. I think too there are many older “functioning” alcoholics who have drank daily for years and inadvertently set themselves on this path when they decide to just quit for one reason or the other.

There are so many. You can be an alcoholic and still high functioning so it slips under the radar in a way that addiction to many drugs does not.

Stay safe.
