Welcome Tom, glad you are here. We are about the same age. I didn't take ten years off like you did. I think I started drinking professionally around 1975. I did stop for a year in 2001 just to prove I could do it. Now, 13 years later I am proving it again. This time it's for good. I hope you will continue to make the journey with me.

Welcome to SR Tom (You're not far from me ).

I was older when I finally quit for good. I had played with it for decades, always trying to control it. It was much easier to stop than to continue the way I was. It was exhausting to be so dependent on it - & it was no longer fun or enjoyable in any way. Time to kick it to the curb and begin your new life. You don't need it.
