Way to go on 62 days Goose. I am also 54. And have the same remorse over not stopping & realizing the signs of alcoholism much sooner in my life...'if only if'..a constant ringing in my mind. I have over 2 years now. Although life is far from perfect, I no longer have the obsession to drink as alcohol has robbed so much from life... financially, emotionally, spiritually. I now struggle with living life on life's terms as my last bout with alcohol led me to rehab and then I had to do jail time for a 3rd DUI. This also took my driving privileges away for 10 years--something I struggle with on a daily basis. Yes, to the younger ones out there...stop before this happens to you. Like me, I thought, 'no, this can't happen to me'...rehab. jail loss of freedom, but it did. As for our age & regrets, I have often heard.."I didn't get here when I should, I got here when I could."...
