I am 36 years old. At 23 I checked myself into treatment and stayed sober for 8 years. Thought I could handle it so tried to responsibly drink, that lasted for about 6 months and it got out of hand. Quit again for a while, and been on and off since then.
Currently I'm just running myself too thin, I work a full-time job, I'm a full time college student. Father of three kids under 7. Just too much shit going on, oh and we just moved in the middle of a semester. I'll get it knocked back here after this semester. I just can't take on so much and need to slow down. I've tried the therapist route and I did enjoy it but eventually I felt like the guy was just trying to explain away my poor choices and I stopped going.
