I had a pretty serious alcohol problem starting in about 1980. I finally got sober on 10/22/2014.
I'll be getting my 3 year chip in about 3 weeks! I'm so jazzed about that!

One thing I think about sometimes is that in 1980, when I was 20 years old, I had a golden opportunity to transition but got afraid of how my family would react and chickened out. It was about that time my drinking got bad and a general depression set in. I never made the connection between my drinking and dysphoria until after I quit.

I'm feeling much better now!

I must apologize for my previous post. I have just realized how wrong I have been when I posted my last response. I am lucky that I have not found a point in all that I do where I must give up my alcohol addiction. Reading what you have all posted has made me really think of where I'm at. I am not ready to stop but I am looking carefully at how I behave with it. I do know that I am not as strong as I think I am or as those that have stopped. I take my hat off to you all.

Treat life's difficult times as if they are normal moments, this makes the normal and special ones even more fantastic.

Your previous post was almost a year ago. A lot can change in a year.  :)
