Hi and welcome!

I drank wine also. It started out so harmless but after time got out of control.

My husband and I would have such a nice time sitting out on the porch after the day was over and relax with a glass of wine. Soon it became a bottle. Then we would open a 2nd bottle. We felt we deserved it and many time said that life just wouldn't be worth living if we couldn't drink.

Of course like most people our lives were filled with stess and this was how we relaxed.

We both have quit drinking wine and he still will have some light beer but compared to what we were doing this is nothing. He doesn't seem to have the same problem with beer as we had with wine.

I think that from experience I can say that over time, even years you could end up drinking way more than you thought you would. Better to get control now.

Good luck!!!!
