Absolutely Julie it's long one , if u wanna chat
My story is I didn't start drinking till I was 30 after my first divorce I found out my first daughter was not biologically mine and it was a nasty cussing battle and I had no rights to my oldest daughter they tried to take her from me everybody the police it was just a very traumatic a year and a half but I did end up changing the law in Ohio and got my kids back because they were with me the whole time she met someone off the internet and went to England of all places so it's always been just me and my girls my life except for like girlfriends and I was married twice but anyway I couldn't quit drinking after that and I was a functioning alcoholic for a while and then my last marriage we were both alcoholics and we just couldn't quit and we split up it's been like 2 years now I finally went to treatment a 90-day program and I'm starting over, my last drink was May 25th, which kind of wrecked my life I had it all car house everything I drove semi trucks for 20 years, I didn't get a DUI in my semi truck it was in my personal vehicle but being a professional driver they really stuck it to me, but I've just had enough of it I'm on a vivitrol shot which helps with your cravings for alcohol and you can take it as long as you need it I also exercise I'm a powerlifter bodybuilder I mean I'm chunky I'm 230 lb but I can bench press like 350 I used to weigh 334 lb at my worst being an alcoholic because I quit going to the gym and was just depressed and I finally a couple years ago just started to getting back into the gym and slowly started stopped drinking and I had a couple lapses in between that two years
So yes definitely would like be friends tell me some of you 
Congrats on your sobriety
