I agree with Music. I was sober for 9 years during my mid 20's until mid 30's.
I began drinking again thinking that I could handle it and I did for many years. However, during the past year I have spiraled downhill like a rollercoaster. I am now an active member in AA and it has made a world of difference. I am about 1 week away from completing a book about my journey as an alcoholic. I would be more than happy to share it with you if you like or if you think it might help your progress in any way. It's comforting to know that so many have experienced the same things that we have and that on some level we are all in this together. Good luck!
