It's great to have you join us, Merle.
You'll never regret taking action now. I knew in my 20's I couldn't drink socially like others - but that didn't stop me from ruining my life. I insisted I had the willpower to control myself - but I never did. Ended up drinking 24/7 in the end. You'll be saving yourself so much grief by staying sane & sober. Congrats on your 2 months.
