Hi Rich,
When I read your post, I couldn't help but notice that you mentioned not drinking and counseling. That's a great start but not all there is to getting sober.

You said that you failed to deal with some "personal issues" and you had some wine. When I got sober I didn't want to drink any more....at all. I started going to AA meetings and met some people who I could talk to about those "personal issues" so that when they came up, I didn't have to drink. I had friends to talk to.

That's my suggestion to you. Look up AA and attend some meetings. Let the people there know what you're trying to do and get some help from them. Counseling happens occasionally but my AA friends can be reached pretty much any time, day or night if I need them. I'm glad I didn't have to do the tough part by myself. I havn't had to take a drink since my first meeting and I owe it all to my friends in AA and my friend I call my Higher Power. Try it. It may work for you too.

Keep coming back.
