I was 25 when I started drinking, 40 when I was done.
I wasted a lot of years. There's no denying that - but there's no getting them back either....and while it's understandable, there's no point in wishing it had been different IMO.
It is what it is, or was.
I figure, along with all the destruction, I've learned a lot...and who I've turned out to be
is not too bad.
And... I'm not dead yet
I could have been.
