I am 50, been drinking for _Years_... Stopping Now at your age is SO much easier (even tho I know it does not feel like it), than 5-10-15... years from now. Take the step Now and stop Now, it is So much easier when you are young than you are middle, upper, aged... Your life is open before you with SO many opportunities!! Do not let alcohol lock you out of all of your infinite possibilities!! Stay strong!
