Hi

Hello,
This is my first post here. I have been successfully alcohol free now for 27 days as I type this after nearly 40 years of binge drinking. I would say I am a "high functioning" problem drinker (if there really is such a thing) in that I have for the most part managed quite well in my years of drinking to excess. Better than some worse than others anyway but still I have grown weary of my drinking. Already I can see my life has improved drastically for the better in the last 27 days. Now I am a little puzzled why I waited so long. Weird.

Joe, 27 days is wonderful! I drank for 30 yrs. and understand wishing you'd done it sooner. You're on the way to a better life - very proud of you. Good to have you with us.
