Hi Allen,
You've gotten a lot of good answers here so I don't have much to say other than welcome.
And, yes. You will have to choose at this point.
- Divorce yourself from your relationship with your wife.
OR - Divorce yourself from your relation with alcohol.
I've learned over time that if I choose to even consume the slightest amount then I'm fully choosing that path. So I've had to make the decision, which seems so simple and yet the nature of the addiction makes it so dang tough, to choose my husband, my son, my life over my old pal alcohol which, when I'm 60 years old will leave me with nothing but a used up old body, sickened by abuse. It's completely up to you. Which is more important?
I know it's easier said then done. WE ALL KNOW THAT HERE. We've all been there.:ghug3
