Sounds like you have a load of reasons to live a sober and happy life without the vino!!!

You mentioned you only have 3 glasses of wine to get a buzz and that is all you can handle, if you are an *alcoholic* (substitute whatever label makes you happier here:-)) this amount will increase as your tolerance grows, one day you may be substituting glasses for bottles!

I don't know much about the lifestyle change stats but the stats for an alcoholic achieving long term sobriety are a lot lower than that, most don't make it!

I hope from your post that you are a 'heavy drinker' and some lifestyle changes will enable you to stay sober, but i would stick around here and read as much as you can first, just on case;-)

Good luck with your choices:-)
