I would like to present myself as Michael Roberts and Alcoholic for the previous 22 years of my life. I am in no way proud of this statement and realise now that I have wasted away 22 years of my life to alcohol and understand why people used to call me a loser.

I have just reached the grand age of 65 and have now been dry for the past 2 years. I really didn't have much of a choice as my doctor had been quite blunt with me one day and said "quit now or die". I don't suppose it took me very long to come to my senses and I made a decision.

I had been married before which produced 2 lovely children, although I hadn't seen them for around 16 years due to my own stupidity and selfishness. I realise that now of course and I still feel guilty, but the resulting truth is that if you want alcohol to be part of your life, there's no room for those who really love you as well.

It was when I was about 46 when I was drinking heavily on a daily basis, that my x wife told me to sort out my problem or she was out with the kids. I thought I had my problem under control and told her so but through my own pig headedness the worst day of my life fell upon me.

I was thoroughly gutted and as far as I was concerned I only had one option left in my life. I just began to drink more and more in an attempt to forget my misery and the alcohol actually managed to make me forget about my wife and kids.

I had reached the age of 62 when something happened in my life which would change things around. I got a knock at the door one morning and opened the door to youngish man wreaking of alcohol. He then asked for me by my name saying that he was my son. Well I couldn't believe it but after having a short chat I realised it really was him, the son I hadn't seen for nearly 16 years.

He was there to inform me of his forth coming wedding and put two very important questions to me. He was actually inviting me to his wedding but only under the condition that I would come alcohol free. I told him it would be an honour and that I would seek help immediately. The following day I went to the Doctors for help and that was when he told me that if I didn't give up Alcohol I would die, and I thanked him for his honesty.

I was driving myself insane trying all sorts of methods and once again it was my son who came to the rescue. He had come across a website called stopdrinkingadvice.org and decided to get me what they had to offer. I had just over 2 years to achieve my objective and this great audio and book helped me to quit in just 6 months, and I have never been back on it since.

I admit it was a tough time and I really had to be firm with myself but at the end of the day nothing was going to stop me watching my son getting married and now I am looking forward to walking down the aisle with my daughter.

One of the reasons I have written this is to prove that you are never too old to stop drinking. Drinking alcohol is the easy option, so why don't you take the hard path too and I can assure you that the reward is well worth the effort.

Just to conclude I can only say that if you identify yourself with me then you do have a chance to give up. I can only recommend stopdrinkingadvice.org and who knows, it might work for you too. I wish you the best of luck for the future and may you be rewarded too.
