Welcome to the family! You're a wise woman to be addressing this now. Our lives can turn into chaos without us ever realizing it's happening.
TexasNative said what I was going to - the "few" beers always turn into many. (In my case, a 30-pack a day all by my little self.) What was once fun and relaxing became a necessity. In the end, I couldn't leave the house without taking something with me - I'd shake or get sick. This never has to happen to you - and I'm glad you see the light!
Keep posting - you can do this!
