John, your post really hit home to me as well. I was also a 2 bottles of wine a night person, the tv, the phone calls, the online conversations. Yep, all me. So glad you have decided to do soemthing. I found the first few days ok for me days 5 to 10 were really difficult. Stick with it, and really think about giving AA a call, its not at all what I expected.
Love
H
