The average person, no matter how excessive or tormented their life, will most certainly outlive the age of 27. Even if they think their blazing glory of youth is taking them down a path of destruction. It probably isn't. Now...if you want to ask the same question using Keith Richards or Peter O'Toole or Ted effing Kenedy as an example then you may have a point. In other words, and I say this with kindness, 29 is no age to start feeling like you've accomplished anything significant simply by reaching it. Look, most of us overcome - or live with - our personal demons. Some don't. That's just the way it is. Making improvements may - or may not - keep you from self destruction.
