I had two of those before age of 22 and kept it going thinking I was too young to have a problem…. Better yet me “having a problem” never crossed my mind. I just stopped driving all together except for work. That was my solution 
The rest of the story was ,,, I got a 2nd DUI in 2017 so grateful to have gotten sober as a result of it… love my sober life

That is tough. Congrats on being sober. I spent a long weekend with a family member who is an alcoholic. It bothered me tremendously. The choices he made, how selfishly, the way he acted and spoke at times. I then visited a friend yesterday, who didn't drink at all yesterday morning/afternoon, and began having withdrawals for the 1st time ever. I am concerned for both of them. Very concerned. It is a slow and painful death from what I understand.
I went to a 4th of July get together y’day at a friend from AA’s house.. I went last year too.. it seemed different this year tho.. it seemed like there wasn’t any fun without drinking.. I haven’t had a drink since May 27 1996 but for some reason I wanted a drink y’day.. but didn’t.. I have to thank God for giving me the strength to say no one more day..

Thank you for sharing, Connie.
There are times I tend?-to forget and, or choose to forget how dependent I was on alcohol. It was bad and intense, my dependency. I need to be way more prouder of close to a year and a half, this time around!
