At this relatively early stage on the road to better health & recovery, the attrition rate seems alarmingly high. I know people wander away for various reasons, so my optimistic bent chooses to believe they have other (better?) supports ...
The SR site -- and this January thread in particular -- is the perfect fit for me. My S.O. does not drink (never has!), which means I'm never confronted with crippling temptation on the home front ... which seems to be half the battle for some. On the other hand, also like friends and family members of some here, he did not think I had a problem because I wasn't lying in a gutter. The need for 1/2 - 3/4 bottle of wine per night, every night, for years
is a problem, no matter where one lays one's head down at night ...
So it's a rather solitary journey, this ... thanks to all for their kind words!
A happy weekend to all!
