In your experience, whats the hardest, saddest most difficult thing about dealing with alcoholism?
You can still play the violin. Get back to practicing. What's stopping you?
My worst regret is that I affected so many people. My wife and kids, family and friends. But, there's nothing stopping me from doing my best to make things right now, that one drink wouldn't mess up.
