Yeah. I sobered up at 31 and now I’m 65. Heart trouble. Lost my voice permanently. Speak in a whisper...All kinds of physical ailments which may or may not have been associated with hard drinking. But I like the AA phrase ‘maladjusted to life.” At least I take it as it comes. The thought of alcohol repulses me.
This Perry guy had everything, and it still wasn’t good enough.
One of my drunk relatives got into AA, but not soon enough. Dropped dead of a heart attack in front of his young kids at age 45 during the holidays, ruining the occasion for the family left behind for decades to come. Even if you have some health problems, at least you're still here, and your family has your sober presence. Bless you, and may God help you find healing for your physical health as well.
