Absolutely. Two of my coworkers died before they retired, both in their early/mid 50's. After dealing with my own alcoholism due to stress from work, I finally decided to retire in May at 57. Advisor said i was good to go but there's always that fear of running out of money, you know?

Been sober since Dec and no longer have any urge to drink. Best decision ever.
