Neo, I'm so relieved to see you back. I was afraid you'd go away & isolate.
Horselover, you and others were only trying to make a point - that it wouldn't be worth it to go back into hell. You said it with love & concern.
It's so very hard to be young & have to come to this conclusion about drinking & partying. I know I'd never have been smart enough to see the light at your age. I paid a huge price for not acknowledging my problem & dealing with it. I allowed alcohol to suck the life out of me, thinking I was making things better & easier. You never have to go down that sad & lonely road, Neo. Thanks for letting us know what's up with you.
