What a tough diagnosis. I don't know you but from your post you sound like a good and decent man that raised kids that will now take care of you and were married a long time. I hope in the time you have left you're reminded of the people that love you and the impact you had on your children and grandchildren. I hope you check off the 5 things you most wanted to do in life. And lastly, remember that what we think of our end is actually another beginning.
Gods peace to you.
Drink whiskey every night!

Spend more time on hobbies you enjoy or find some new ones that’ll keep your mind occupied. Tennessee has lots of opportunity for outdoors hobbies. Find some good fishing spots that you can take the grandkids to when you have time with them.

No one prepares you for the kids being gone and being a single dad in a brutally quiet house.

Wife ? I always thought that you were a woman. You get so worked up in some of these threads.

You have suffered what is unthinkable to many who are in a good marriage. That kind of pain only becomes manageable....give yourself time to heal. While doing so get outside of your own head and world. Find volunteer activities that are meaningful....there is no shortage of them...and give of yourself. You have raised a family and maintained a marriage - you are obviously a person who can manage problems, stress, and have some compassion for others. Your pain, understandable as it is, has focused your life on your pain....which is necessary to properly grieve....but being alone, bored and drinking sounds like a complete reversal of the person you have always been....based on the fact that you have a family and a marriage. Find some volunteer opportunities or even consider finding a job....anything that forces you outside of your self....your history suggests that being focused on yourself is not normal for you....and you want to maintain normalcy as much as possible. Good luck and keep your head up....time makes things more manageable.

I prefer weed when I’m bored. Drinking for fun

How old are you?
Because you sound like you may be old enough to go join a “table of knowledge” as my old uncles call it.
Somewhere near you there are diners or gas stations where old guys sit around and bullshite over coffee and solve all the world’s problems.

Is there a reason you have to be in an apartment? That's probably part of the problem. When I got divorced a few years ago, I was in an apartment for a few months before I could get into a house. It sucked. No grass to cut. No shop for projects. Just TV basically. With a house you can always piddle in the yard, garden.... shite like that.

Can you pick up a part time job?
Posted on 9/18/24 at 7:48 am to Julz5198
Find hobbies. Nothing wrong with drinking now and then but at least find something fun to do while drinking. Golf, fishing, etc
Or something productive. Fix up a classic car, gym, running.
Also when you’re ready you could try dating again

3 days a week isn't heavily unless you are getting passed out drunk.

You should see someone about it. That's a problem, in my Professional Medical Opinion

I’m very sorry for your loss.
Posted on 9/18/24 at 8:45 am to Julz5198
Find you a little patch of land with a cabin, or build a barndominium that is half shop half house. Get a good dog, some animals, find an old jeep or car to fix up with or for your grandkids, work the land, garden whatever.. enjoy life

You should go make new friends at the bar and put them in the will instead of your kids like that country song

I have only had a drink alone over the course of a lifetime, after a big victory of some kind as a ceremonial.
Posted on 9/18/24 at 8:58 am to Julz5198
Try to find a hobby. Fishing, woodworking, anything. Keep your mind sharp.
Posted on 9/18/24 at 9:03 am to Julz5198
You’ve got to find a hobby you can throw yourself into. Woodworking, golf, fishing, something …

That’s not really drinking heavily.
