"To be gravely affected, one does not necessarily have to drink along time nor take the quantities some of us have. This is particularly true of women. Potential female alcoholics often turn into the real thing and are gone beyond recall in a few years."
~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, More About Alcoholism, pg. 33~
For me it was 25 years of drinking and drugging, all the while thinking I was invincible and would live forever. Oh sure, I did have a couple of times where I quit drinking and using for a short time, but always came back with a vengeance. So much so, that I risked loosing family, friends, career, and my life several times. Had I known then what I know now, I could have saved myself all those years that I now consider wasted. Never be afraid to get help long before you are so far gone that you get left alone, scared, and sick.
