My fervent hope is no one puts in the years I did. It's complicated because, yes, there are many good times; yet the years slip by.
I also think it's important to have one's own identity. I had mine for 34 years. Then I married an alcoholic. I held out pretty long, but the last few of the 15 year marriage, I lost myself. I think that one ounce I had left saw me through to get help.
