You can still have a very beautiful life, Goose1. I did not have the wisdom or discipline when I was younger. Do I wish I had gotten sober many years ago? Yes. Do I appreciate that I finally "got it" and can live the rest of my life peacefully and joyfully....YES!! Lots of people get sober when they are older. You are not alone.
I ditto doggone's "what if" sentiment. If I hadn't gotten sober when I did, I might not be here to post this. You are still in early days.....it gets way better!
