Alcoholic - is it too late?

Borninthe1950s I just want to add to all the good advice and support that you've already been given - that there is (research shows) a "continuous positive effect" in that all your previous attempts will have been of accumulative value even if you don't realise it - and this may just be the time you finally give up altogether. Recovery is not linear, it is a spiral and sometimes even a bit of a "Snakes and Ladders" game.

Good luck, the ladders are right there, and you're on the first rung. (Your daughter sounds lovely too).

I’ve noticed many tv serials show people drinking copious amounts of alcohol at the drop of a hat, making it look normal and everyday. Similar I suppose to how we used to see people lighting up a cigarette. It makes it look the norm and so encourages excessive drinking.

My sister is married to an alcoholic, just like his late father and brother. So sad.
