Wanna bet on many of the 30 having problems later in life.Trust me Kate, it was not until after I put it all down that I realized how many people actually do have a major problem drinking and I am 34 and STOKED to have this chance so early on in my life.

At your age I was never drinking every single night. and I am sitting here now admitting I have a big problem with booze and weed.

My life was completely normal on the outside and all of my family and friends are shocked that I put it all down saying over and over "problem? what problem, you seem perfectly fine to me.
Kate, your very young to be thinking about this problem and I am sure all of us here would LOVE to be where you are. If we could all go back and smack ourselves up side the head and say "Hey dumb ***#, your gonna kill yourself and ruin whatever future you have"
You are getting some serious 20/20 hindsight here early in life trust me... Take this chance while you still can.
Cheers
