  • Well done mate!!!!

  • Fair play to him totally!!

    The thing is it also fills me with sadness because you can see when the guy is talking that there is a massive gap of 25 years missing from his life!

  • @Mind0verM4tter i wonder how you are now. drinking was never a problem for me until recently. im 24 and i can see that it will not improve and i want to eliminate alcohol from my life. it only brings destruction. take a step back and think how it iwll be down the road. i hope you are well now .

  • I would like to congratulate you on 21yrs sobriety, proof that it can be done. I hope someone will read your message and know there is endless hope, rather than an hopeless end.

  • Very sad story. Luckely it has a happy ending. :)

    Sadly young people these days still start drinking. And they know the risks. But they still do it. I dont get it.

  • Good luck fella...I wish I could sort it out myself....I was in A.A at 14 years as well..

  • @clvrgrl29 i wish you good luck.

  • well done David, so pleased for you, and well done for your 5 years sobriety :)

  • God Bless you David keep on going straight, you can do it! I lost the man I loved to alcohol and both of my uncles died young from it as well. Glad you got help! Bless you Melissa
