27m Just got engaged on June 29th two days ago!

I have been relatively heavy drinker since i was around 16 years old. It is time to put an end to this. I once quit for 3 months. I felt great. Then i fell back into the habbit. I am engaged now and me and my fiance have big plans for the future together and i just feel like if i keep this up i womt even be alive to be apart of those plans. Let a lone healthy. At night sometimes after drinking i feel like im going to die right there in my bed. Heart beating fast, erratic breathing. I need to stop this and chase a high of health and confidence.

Congratulations on your engagement Jonathan and I can hear the search for change starting in your share here.

For me it helped to join groups and listen to podcasts. I still do both. There’s a list of both groups and podcasts (and books) here:
