Hi Mike-
Great decision, congrats !
Aside from saying this, you also
need to take some tactical steps to ensure you get and stay sober man... AA is a great start.
Learn from our experience/mistakes/triumphs and conquests over addiction.
I was in your exact shoes for far too long, but at 35 years of age - decided enough is enough and it will be 1.5 years sober next month. I joined this forum at 28, thus the name
Binge drinking is what I did, usually Thur or Friday start, but as my disease progressed, so did the start day... Monday/Tue - it did not matter, King Alcohol kept winning.
You can do it , we all can....
All the best and feel free to PM me at anytime !
