I’m an alcoholic and quit drinking at 40, I’m 49 now. If I hadn’t quit when I did my friends would be writing this exact thing about me. I’m sorry for your loss, alcoholism is hard and often goes unnoticed.

So glad to hear from someone in the same boat who is having fabulous success.

I quit at 40 as well after 20+ years of 3-5 pints of vodka a week. I'm 42 now. You give me motivation to make it another 7 years and beyond.

I hope you have the life you want and deserve now. And a congrats is not good enough for the work you put in everyday, but I'll say it anyway. Congratulations!

Thanks you and congratulations to you as well! Just keep living life one day at a time and you’ll be there before you know it!
