I know you are all right. I entitled my post "Too Late" because that is how I feel about my life. I'm 56, have lost the love if my life, live in a huge old house I cannot afford to keep up, and my life seems over. Not everyone does recover from alcoholism - it's just a fact. I have been fighting this illness for a long time. I have spells of apparent progress, but then it overwhelms me again. I don't feel I have any more fight in me. I know what I have to do, but I don't think I have the strength to do it anymore. It really does feel too late
