I was exactly your age when I quit - and I've made it another 30 years
which I wouldn't have done if I hadn't quit
Damn, good for you brother.
I play the "beer game" on TEST, but in all actuality, my life revolves around my family. My wife and son are my pride and joy, and alcoholism doesn't in any way, shape or form, fit into that equation. My "beer" (milk, yogurt, cheese, extras storage, lol) fridge spends more time filled with extra food then it does with any beer at all.
When I posted the initial post I expected a chorus of shitposting talking about beer. I never imagined I'd have a decent discussion about it, haha.
I'd raise a glass to your success and life, but I feel like that wouldn't be in the spirit of the conversation. Ergo, I salute you Sir. Huzzah.
