Welcome DirtyRiverMan. We're so glad to have you join the family. You've made a wise decision.
What you said about chasing the euphoria of that first drink is so true. I spent many years trying to recapture the feeling of my early drinking days. Instead of trying to escape from problems, I wish I'd faced life head on. I was in my 50's when I came limping in here - and things finally changed. I found the courage to stop. You can do it, DirtyRiverMan - we want to help.
