Almost the same age 😀 and six months sober. Yes, the family are way way happier.

I’m not saying I was a nasty guy as a drinker, but I have to say my wife would be very down if I took up drinking again. Stopping drinking is a matter of accepting you can’t drink again. Heavy drinkers tell me how much they enjoy alcohol and don’t want to quit. I enjoyed it too, but anyone who’s dependent has a big problem and has no alternative but to quit. Yes, it’s tough at first, but all ex-drinkers regret not quitting earlier. None regret giving up.

Good luck 😀
