I'm headed down a similar path, though not as far along yet. AW has been drinking on and off for several years. After a bad episode last Fall, she almost seemed ready to try and quit. She got religion, got involved in a church, watches Joyce Myers every day.
After eight months of apparent sobriety, she's back in the bottle. She claims it's her medicine, but we can tell.
Just goes to show the power this disease has over people. Sorry for your pain, and glad you have found peace. Good luck and happiness in your new life.
