Hiya Ouch Potato,
I'm a 48 year-old drunk in Boston. I've been clean and sober for 12 years now, but had my run-ins with the crack pipe. Mostly, though, i was a drunk.
I hope you give sobriety a good shot. I had to go to meetings every day for a couple of years in order to stay clean, but it was/is well worth it. Keep strong, keep posting, and beliebve that you can beat this disease.
Mike
