drinking doesnt have a starting date.
you don’t need to drink alchohol (or drugs etc…) to be happy. just have bitachon & emunah in Hashem & in return Hashem gives you the priceless gift of Happiness cause you will see that nothing.noone in the world can touch or effect you without Hashems permission thus you will always be such a happy person 24/7
hodu L’hashem, how thankful i am to Hashem for everything Hashem gives & continues to give me. i am blessed to not need, liquor, smoking, drugs, music etc… to make me happy. I am bentched with the gift of happiness 24/7 because my entire trust is in Hashem & no one else or anything else.
