I'm sorry you are going through this. Maybe the first step is your GP? I too am guilty of drinking too much and worry about my health. I don't think I'm an alcoholic. I have a few glasses of wine at night. I hope you find some help. No it's never too late. There will be lots of good advice on here. Good luck.

I’ve had a life-long drinking problem. Things have escalated so badly now that I’m destroying my relationships and acknowledge that I’m an alcoholic. I’m late 60s; has anyone managed to stop drinking at this late stage in life? I know that if I don’t stop now it’s either going to kill me or estrange my beloved child and destroy ny new relationship (or probably both). Is it too late for me?
