Thanks for the warm welcomes. Both hubby and I are alcoholics. He drinks openly and I hide it for the most part. A few years ago I attempted to quit, went to AA, started on the program, got a sponsor etc..., but I became resentful because he continued to drink and so I started up again. I can't take the hangovers any more for one. I feel unhealthy, body, mind and spiritually these days. It's also a really good time for me to get serious and turn my life around. Hubby got a job where he will be gone 5 days a week or more from home. I won't have the stress of his drinking to deal with 24/7. So, here I go, I'm ready. Last drink was Saturday.
