Anyone else become a big drinker since?

I started drinking when I was 12. But then preferred recreational drugs. Because it was cheaper back then and lasted longer, and was quicker to get out of my head - which was the whole point: block it all out.

It's not a good path to go down. So it you can get some support to help deal with life and what happened, it will help immensely. And reduce the need to drink.

Yep, I became an alcoholic. Quit 4 years ago.

For a few years. Then I did the abstinence thing for a couple years. Then the moderation for the last 15 or 20?

That’s me, in most areas of my life; I tend towards extremes, to find where I ultimately belong.

Yes, I was an alcoholic and it got worse during my recovery. I got sober 2 1/2 years ago. I am not strictly abstinent but I don’t like the taste of or feelings I get from alcohol anymore.

I quit drinking over 36 years ago. I was living with a gal who was clearly having problems with alcohol so I thought if I stopped she might. Well she didn’t and we broke up shortly after I quit. I just decided the party lifestyle wasn’t really for me and I never looked back. I did make it a point to watch the drinking and drug use of people I dated and if there was a hint of abuse I cut it off.
