Well, I've tried at least a couple of dozen times over the years. Got drunk the first time at age 12. Got progressively worse and by age 20 I was already addicted. I don't know exactly what was different this time. Fear of loosing my family and everything I have had a lot to do with it I'm sure. But I think a strong willingness to get sober once and for all and a genuine desire to change my ways. I don't wan to celebrate too much though, since I had a full year of sobriety in 1996 and then picked back up again. This time though, I feel like I'm done with drink.
