Hi Regrets -- I saw your post in another thread about how you don't realize what has happened until it's too late.

It's never too late, it's never too late, it's never too late.

I got clean and sober in my late 30s. I graduated from graduate school and started a new career at 47. A 90-year-old got her community college degree near here this spring.

Others at PC have started businesses, had art shows, and many achievements in mid- and late-life. The internal changes can be even more impressive. I left here for almost two years, and the changes in attitude I saw in some regulars here were most remarkable -- from negative to positive.

It may take time for you to find your balance -- give yourself that time and know that it's okay. You may feel stuck, but you are moving forward.

Keep going, and feel proud of yourself.
