Oops sorry !
I sent that previous quote without my comment. That statement hit a chord with me. You talk about quality of life and let me tell you that you can have it all (on the surface) I have a great husband , great little boy , plenty of money , physically in good shape etc etc and no one can fire me because I own my own business. So being in a temporarily unfortunate situation might not be what leads you to drink. I am currently trying to find out myself why I am so in love with the feeling I get from alcohol. Haven't found out yet but I posted on this forum a few days ago and decided to stop and not wait for the train wreck jist because i still dont know why I drink. For how long , can't say and the idea of finality is also hard for me to fathom but you must decide that the rest of your life begins today. I wish you the best.
