Hi Sven - It's so good to have you with us.
I began having serious drinking problems in my 40's. Prior to that, it had been mostly fun & easier to control. But something changed - I became more tolerant - it took more & more alcohol to achieve the same effect. I didn't stop, though - I just kept trying to manage it. As a result, I created a nightmare of dependency & chaos. I hope you'll consider kicking it out of your life. Meanwhile, we're very happy you found us.
