A lot of people have been saying I didn't have that much of a problem but they weren't with me when I drank my bottle of wine alone every day the last 6 months before I stopped.

Happy Birthday Dorothy and I can relate with you on the Sunday Blues (I don't have them anymore since I started working on Sundays) and the craving for sugar. I was never that
much into sweets but since I quit drinking, I NEED a bar of chocolate before going to bed LOL. I can also relate to you about people not knowing/realizing what a problem I had since I drank alcoholically alone. Most people don't know I am an alcoholic and that I am in recovery and if they were told, they d never believe it. I am the friend who will have one, two drinks at most at a party...if only they knew that once alone I would go through a six pack of 16oz 211 beer (not a classy drink either, more like skid row kinda beer LOL). Which reminds me of what Reeny posted earlier:"I'm the kind of person who - if he can't have too much of something - doesn't want any of it." That's sooo me LOL.
