SixString - that was inspiring to read of your progress! I was so comforted when I found SR. I had no one to relate to & the normies in my life made such unhelpful comments & suggestions. I know they meant well, but only we alkies can truly get each other, in my opinion.
Forty is young, and you have plenty of time to heal emotionally & mend any health problems you may have. It's wonderful you've seen the light and are ready to have a new life, without the chaos. Congratulations!
