woo hoo, it's the longest I've been sober for about 20 years and I'm only 37. What a bumpy but thrilling ride. Using alcohol and drugs to mask and self medicate mental illness is just not a good look. I had no idea that I was depressed, anxious and socially phobic at the age of 17. So booze became my best friend and worst nightmare at the same time. I hope anyone else out there doing what I have done can gain some hope and get proactive, there is so much support available, you just have to ask, peace peoples!!!
