I'm over 40, and I have no intention of ever drinking again. It had progressed for me to the point that I don't want to. I have been mentally and physically dependent on it, and for me it just not worth the hassle anymore. I don't feel the way I used to when I drank, it doesn't make me happy anymore, it numbs me and I want to feel stuff, and as I age I realize that each time I walk that path it only gets worse and the effects on my body multiply. I still have to keep recovery and sobriety in the front of my mind daily to accomplish it, but if I stay vigilent I can do it.
