Welcome to the family VB. It's so good you've realized what needs to be done. I went on for many more years trying to control what I drank. I failed every time.
I know what you mean about the town you live in. I recently moved from Ocean City, MD & there was a liquor store or bar on every corner. I wasn't tempted because I knew I'd die if I kept going - but it was a challenge. I'm glad you're finding the meetings helpful - you can rise above this VB.
