Lonelygal,
I'm right there with you. I'm a Mom of one little boy, a wife of 18 years to a soldier and I've been drinking for around 8 years or so, actually started about 10 years ago but gave up when I was pregnant with my son and when I was bfding him.
Then, my hubby got extended in a deployment and I was right back, sliding down the ole slippery slope.
Just want to say welcome to SR and hang around a while! It's a wonderful community to be a part of!
