I didn't stop yet at that age either. I kept at it. At age 37 things came home to roost as I had 3 seizures, ended up in the ER twice and got 15 stitches after I nearly bit off my tongue. My beautiful girlfriend dumped me and my friends left too. I watched my mom, dad, and sister weep tears of shame, sadness, and disappointment as I was wheeled off to detox. Then I went to an in-patient treatment facility where I shared a room with a constipated Fidel Castro look-alike for 3 weeks. I think the bill was close to 17K.
If you're interested in following my path, by all means keep drinking! I'll tell you that it definitely worked for me! Been 9 months since those dark days and I haven't even thought about a drink. Then again if you want to take a different route I understand. Probably starts with putting down the bottle. NOW.
