Congrats on 25 days Paulos. When you mentioned your age I thought, wow, you have the insight at this early age to take responsibility for your life. I wish I'd had that at 24. I started drinking at 17 and drank heavily for four decades. I never knew what two days sober meant. I rember reflecting on one of those decades, and saying, I've been drunk every night for 10 years. What was drunk? Anything from half a dozen to 10 beers a night. You know, like you, I also want to turn the clock back, but you have to take the present and embrace it and celebrate the space you have found for yourself now. The present is all we have, and the very best we can do is to build on it. I think your 25 days at 24 is fantastic! (:
