Great to hear you're positive about moving forward. Keep at it it will pay off in more ways than you can possibly know today. As for the statistics, just ignore all that hype. Its all about quality of life and not about drinking or not. Forget about it. You'll see as you go that keeping sober is so much more than just not drinking. Alot of those guys that go back to drinking never really stopped drinking in the first place, they just took a break in between drinks - so don't despair - forget the stats -- > its all about quality of life without alcohol and you're doing it right today and that is awesome!
Best Wishes!
