Sure: Change is possible as long as you're on this plane. I've seen people of all ages turn their lives around. Please consider attending aa and getting a sponsor to help you work your 12-step program. You also may want to see a psychiatrist, to deal with any conditions like anxiety or depression that could interfere with your recovery. Good luck to you!
