I'll be 36, and I'm an alcoholic. I used to be much worse, with a really intense/high-responsibility job that I gave up. I went into rehab, did
well for a few months, and then relapsed, though not as bad. I also became a big coke user and I think that really messed me up more than anything else.
I've started a new job in Boston now after having been overseas for the past year (starting a business - couldn't have picked a better time). I thought I could keep it under control but I really can't. For me, it's either no drinking or binging. On the train back to New York the other day I must have had about 10-20 of those mini-shots they give out.
I'm ashamed and embarrassed to be 36, and still not get myself together. Sometimes I really wonder if I'll ever get my act straightened out.
Good luck to all my compatriots in our journey -- I wonder how we got this disease but we have to deal with it.
