Good luck! I'm pulling for you.
Thanks! I am very determined. Heck, I might be well in a week, who knows? I wish that my wife would be just a little more patient and understanding of my mental state since being away from the drink. I'm a "new" person for quitting, but I didn't expect my wife to be "new".....If she liked the "old" me better, we're in trouble. And, if I don't like the "new" her, we got a problem...
She does not drink, and never has.
