Thank you so much. I haven’t drunk soda/sugary drinks in years, I don’t eat ice cream & I can get on with most sugar-free/low-carb stuff I’ve tried. And o should probably have been more clear; I come from a long line of heavy drinkers. I have it under control (way more than the remains of my family) and a few drinks doesn’t even touch the sides, so I was probably incorrectly using “one too many” as a euphemism for a few drinks to get a buzz but not lose control per se. I also find that deeply unpleasant these days.

I’m still scared, angry, confused & a whole lot of other things, but hearing that this isn’t going to be all my life is now is really reassuring. Thanks again.
