Thank you all for the supportive comments. ownmybehavior, I know what you mean. The worst feeling in the world is the next day when my son asks me why I was mad at him the night before, and, if I even remember, it was something booze related. kabrock, I know for me having alcohol in the house has been what has killed prior attempts to give it up. Hopefully you are stronger than me. Thanks for the advice, alcohol truly is poison and I have proven I cannot handle it in moderation, so it needs to go.
