My name is Jamie Gough and for the last 22 years of my life I've been an Alcoholic, yes I know it's nothing to be proud of and yes if you look at it I've wasted 22 years of my life drinking Alcohol everyday to put it bluntly. As people used to call me a waste of space or a waste of a life!

I have just recently reached retirement age and have now enjoyed 2 whole years alcohol free. The day I came to my senses was at the Doctors when he came clear with me and told me that it was give up time or time to die. Fortunately it didn't take me ant tome tome at all to come to the right decision.

I was fortunate enough to have been married before and I have 2 wonderful children, but all that went pear shaped and went for 16 years without seeing my kids. I really feel awful when I think what I missed and the problem is then when alcohol forms part of your life everything else falls by the wayside.

If I remember rightly I was in my mid forties and drinking way too much on a daily basis when my wife warned me what the consequences would be if I didn't sort my problem out. I really didn't think she leave me with the children and I just brushed her warnings away by saying I had everything under control. I should have listened to her as that nightmare day dawned upon me.

It was a bit like someone inserting their hand into my chest and slowly turning my insides round, I think people call it a "gut wrench feeling". After that I took the easy option out, which is what 97% of people do with anything in there lives, "the easy option", and I just kept on drinking more and more and I never even thought about my kids and wife anymore.

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.

His real mission was two fold and I was so pleased when he invited me to his wedding and even more cooperative when he told me that I could only come without being under the influence of alcohol. I wasted no time and the next morning went straight to my local Doctor and explained him my situation. This was the day he was very honest with me and told me straight, that if I didn't quit drinking that I would most certainly die.

I was beginning to really get down having tried almost everything there was to quit the stuff, when I was once again rescued by my son. He had found something new on the internet at stopdrinkingadvice.org which he kindly purchased for me. There were just 2 years to go to the wedding and amazingly enough this amazing book and audio helped me to quit drinking alcohol in just 6 months. I have never since had the inclination to drink alcohol.

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.
