I got sober when I was 31, which is actually reasonably young for purposes of getting sober.

If I had gotten sober earlier, my drinking story wouldn't have as many chapters as it does.

I wish you the best, whatever you choose.

But I think having the clarity of mind to make this determination is quite a gift, and I hope you take it to heart.

One thing I have noticed from being sober is that giving up alcohol, which seemed to be an insurmountable hurdle at first, doesn't cause me to miss much of anything in life that I would like to have back.

Drinking, on the other hand, would cause me to lose everything which goes to make my life so great (happy, joyous and free, as we AA types would say).

I wouldn't trade my life sober for the ability to take a drink or two for anything in the world.
