Great article on alcoholism and finances. I too can relate. Since becoming sober (4 1/2 yrs now) my decisions are sharper and I am much less anxious about my investments and portfolio.

I too drank everyday. I blacked out so often I think I missed half my life.

I hated myself every day but alcohol controlled my life. But a miracle occurred on April 7, 2007 when the cravings left me. This April I will have been sober 16 years.

I'm embarrassed to say I brought up two children as a drunk and although they have forgiven me I still can't forgive myself.

If you can give up alcohol, do it. It's the best life!
