I'm a recovering alcoholic with three years, five months of wonderful sobriety, and I understand exactly what you're saying. I started drinking at fifteen, and it took five DWI's for me to finally realize it was time for a change. http://absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69929&highlight=path+rocky+worth That is the link to my story, which was published in "Voices of Alcoholism." I can't begin to imagine what my life would be now if I had never started drinking as a teenager. But I can't say I would change anything either. The road I chose gave me a beautiful, caring, strong wife, a wonderful son, and a daughter on the way. It gives me the chance to tell young people I meet about staying sober as someone with experience. They might not listen, but the seed is still planted. Great column!
