[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister never drank much and never smoked or dig any other drugs. She was a successful attorney, married with three children. She started drinking more as she got older and by the time she was on her 50s, she had gotten a DUI and went to rehab. She became a full-blown alcoholic, her husband divorced her over it and she is in terrible health.

The point of telling this story is to say that your drinking habits can change over a lifetime and it can become a problem at any age. People should be cautious around alcohol and honestly assess their drinking every so often. So if a dry January makes someone consider what it's like to go without, that's probably a positive thing.

Also, I know many people who quit without calling themselves alcoholics for health or other reasons, so you can do without without having to "hit bottom."

NP and just wanted to say that I appreciate your post. I’m really sorry for all your sister has gone through and is going through. I hope she is doing well, and that you are, too. Thank you for bringing up these important points. [/quote]
