Off the sauce for 7 years. I was looking at jail time.
When you're a drunk like me, you got no business drinking alcohol over the age of 25 or so.
The upside is I have a life.
Alcohol effects everyone differently. Obviously in your case it was having way too many negative effects. Glad you took control of it and continue to have a life without out.

Then again I'm not there yet so no way of being able to tell.
+1 for you though for getting through it all. I have an uncle who had to quit or be in the same position as you and he did it.
People just have to figure out what is moderation for them. Some of us it can be a sixer a night or for others it could be none at all.
