I quit at 54, a little over 3 years ago. Looking back, quitting was neither hard or easy, that stuff didn't really matter to me at the time. Getting sober was something I had vowed to do, and hard or easy didn't enter into it. I just did it, I knew I had only one shot to make it work, and failure was not an option.
I knew that day was coming, that sooner or later I was going to have to give it up. I wish I had done it sooner.
