I don't know anything about AA. Never thought about going. The last time I gave up alcohol was 4 years ago. I was sober for 3 months (done that before too). Anyway, I thought I would just have a glass of wine at a relative's birthday party. That's all I had but the next day, I had another glass of wine and so on and so on. I haven't had anything but wine and beer in the last 17 years but I know my history and shouldn't have anything at all. I have you guys in the back of my head now...which is a good thing. I told a relative today that I haven't been sleeping and she said why don't you just go back to drinking beer so you can sleep. LOL!! Thanks for the replys and support. Nancy
