I was able to maintain my drinking for many, many years but I always had a sick feeling in the back of my mind that it wasn't going to end well. And it didn't because this problem is progressive. I eventually lost 8 years to liquor. My last drink was over a year ago. I feel awesome now and I've learned so much pulling out of this mess, but I wish I could go back to being 24 and stop it then, so I could have more wonderful years feeling great. I hope that you're strong enough to make the wise choices now so you can enjoy being pretty and smart and loving your family life for decades to come.
