Thank you all for your kind words. I get sick of hearing myself about my life. But life is so much better.

It can be a major pain in the ass. But that is just life.

My drinking was to get drunk. If I was just having one or two glasses and that was it. I would have been okay.

I was getting blackout wasted. So I knew I hit rock bottom last year.

Not everyone who drinks is an alcoholic who drinks.

This is just my story.

I think it is wonderful that you are celebrating this with us! I am an adult child of an alcoholic and I couldn't be happier for you and your family. My mother didn't stop drinking until she was in her mid-seventies and I was in my mid-forties. But I got to know what a smart, funny, good woman she was in the last years of her life and I think she learned to finally enjoy life at that point too. How great that you will have many more years!
