Bobdrop I agree with all of the sentiments above. I am older, 62, am have drank progressively more the last 19 years after having 10 years of sobriety. I can say I can’t outrun or outsmart alcohol. I thought it wasn’t the same for me because it hadn’t affected my health but recently had a blood test that showed abnormal liver function. I stopped 52 days ago and hope to continue to stop. Like you I have successful grown children, a successful business, many material things but alcoholism threatens to ruin all of that if I don’t stop now. Best wishes for a wonderful holiday and for continued sobriety.
