I can relate. 4 years ago, I became the youngest person promoted to partner with my firm. I'd been with them 14 years, all the while drinking 12-24 pretty much nightly. I was doing the same thing for 6 years prior to joining the firm while bartending my way through school. I have to admit though, my work has suffered greatly the past couple of years... I'm 42... Just can't seem to power through it like I used to... I went from highly functioning to just getting by. I'm certain that it would have continued to get worse. Thank God nobody noticed, and thank God that I've now decided to live a sober life. I'm glad that you've decided the same, and I wish you the best of luck.
