bluiis,
This was my story 21 years ago. I am still here. I didn't know any better back then. I wish I had. The drinking in my house has gone from 6 to 18 to ?. This is every night. I l have lost count. I know what you mean about the wedge. I have one. Get help now. Know the signs and work on yourself. Don't wait as long as I have and 2 children later to do it.
