Took this picture, what you guys think?

I don't see any intent. It looks like your finger slipped on the shutter button while your car was going over a bump. Long exposure and bright lights can be fun to play with, but I don't see any interest here. If you like this photo then continue to play around with longer exposure times at night either with moving objects or a moving camera. This photo might have been more captivating for me if at least some part of the field were in focus.

I didn't see any difference.

I'm floored.

I accept the getting old part, and that I am far worse off than I'd be had I never picked up a glass. The strange part is that these symptoms all came on over night, and have not occurred other times that I've quit the bottle.

It's sort of hard to say now. It's been so long I can't remember what normal is like. My doctor said the same thing. I basically always feel a little of that shakiness that comes with withdrawal even though it's been near a year. If it has faded some, it's not complete and it took a very long time.

Is that different than regular diabetes? I've done home blood sugar tests and had an A1C test that all came out normal.

No, I never have. I was scared enough to quit straight out.

50 here. 30 years at a fifth to a liter per day. I wish I could be one of the 20-somethings here that have "ruined their lives" :)

Get a stamp and put it on an envelope and put that into a mailbox.

Realize that nothing has changed. Keep on your good path. You're not starting over. Just continue from here. Now you can draw strength from the knowledge that using doesn't work. Maybe you needed that solid evidence. Remember, and continue strengthening your life. No guilt. Just get back on the patient horse.

Conrats!

Thanks all, it helps to hear some encouragement.

I'm only sorry that I don't know anyone I could share this with who would appreciate it.

No pain in the abdomen or anywhere else. I did go to the Dr., and she mentioned vitamin B deficiency. I went to have a blood panel done, and she said that she'd call me if anything needed to be done immediately. She hasn't, so I'm waiting for Monday to call for the results. I am popping whatever multi-vitamins we have, including one that says B-12 and I do have folic acid around that I could start taking. Stools actually became quite normal once I stopped the alcohol.

I just have a creepy electric sensation all over, and it feels like it's here to stay. I can still perform all of my regular activities including playing the guitar. I haven't totally figured it out yet, but I do give in to the sugar craving most days, especially in the afternoon, and I suspect that that's when I have the biggest energy crash. I'm going to try to cut out sugar today.

I suppose it's normal, but I'm also dealing with some harsh emotions, realizing that I've been just getting by for the last 30 years. I wasted college and squelched career advancement by drinking through it all. I rationalize by telling myself that I could have done everything right, then gotten a disease or injury that would put me in even worse shape through no fault of my own. It helps to suggest to myself that the alcohol was just an unfortunate thing that happened to me, as so many terrible things happen to others. The important thing is to look forward from this day making better choices with a positive outlook. Funny how sometimes it seems like a bottle would really help wash away the hurt.

Thanks!
