Congratulations Ulfie, that is a big step and you should be proud of yourself....
Just a story that may (or may not) help........
My mother was the smartest woman I ever knew. She graduated second in her class at University of Rochester. She was a Math and Bio major and taught both subjects. She was an amazing woman with virtually multitudes of wisdom and knowledge to pass on to her 5 kids.
She died at the age of 47 due to brain damage and scirosiss..... she literally drank herself to death (I was 17 at the time) and devestated an entire family in the process.
I will not go into the particulars........ But stopping drinking can only be a good thing.
