Well I'm 52 and started my own buisiness at 30 prior to that, I was moving furniture ! I now employ 25 people. Advice: get and stay clean, you are going to feel like crap for a year off and on and not really going to be yourself. Make the best of your job and don't make any major changes, until you have a year clean.when the time comes get a game plan and start taking baby steps toward your goals, even if its only one phone call or reading a little info, start inching toward your goal. Right now you have a job you have a life deal with it ! Getting clean is your only priority.
