I’m a young looking 37. I was still getting carded now and then a year ago (since then I’ve stopped buying alcohol and only very rarely will I have a drink with dinner). But I wouldn’t go back for much of anything, unless I knew I could avoid some of the hell I’ve had to go through to get here. Mentally I’m more focused than ever, and it’s enabled me to accomplish things that I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish when I was younger. (I have what one might call an ‘unquiet mind’. It can be both overwhelming and debilitating.) I’m just happy to maintain sanity and function from day to day. You never know how valuable sanity is until you lose it (as with most everything in life).
