Good for you. I don't know whether it was a hard decision or seemed an easy way out or what, but I'm an alcoholic with 18 yrs sobriety if i can one day it until March 13th this year. I now also have 30 yrs of trying, rehabbing, falling off, starting over. I wasn't able to stop for good until I was diagnosed bipolar & put of medication for that.
You made the right decision, I think. I'm pulling for you!
