I don't know how old you are TB but I wish I'd stopped when I knew I had a problem.
By 21 there was no doubt that I was drinking alcoholically.
I'm now 34 and all those years are lost in what can only be described as chaos!
I know others have lost even longer than me.
There was a phrase I read many years ago that went like this:
'Keep doing what you're doing and you'll kep getting what you've got.'
I think I've finally got what it meant.
There are some things in life which are outside of my control. But I believe, if I don't pick up that first drink.....
