Really hoping to now try and clean things up. I look forward to being involved in the community and moving forward.

Hello and welcome to SR,

You may be a functioning alcoholic now, but sooner or later you will cross the boundaries, and become non functional in life...It took me a couple of decades...
My drinking took me to mental institutions, jail, detox and when I wasn't in those places I lived in a world of insanity...I was slowly committing suicide. I hope you don't have to follow my path...

So glad you found us, keep posting...

Thank you all for the kind and encouraging words.

I feel I have my head in the right place and now I have to follow through with actions.

Look forward to posting more.
