Hi Caszee and welcome to SR. (sorry about your son's illness)

I too was a bottle/two bottle wine drinker about 5 nights a week. Like most, progressed from one glass to 2 bottles over 6 years. I'm sober about 10 weeks. It has been very hard to conquer this habit. I had to change my behaviour/patterns and my thinking (still working on them of course). I also attend couple support meetings a week and have SR. I don't think I could have just stopped without these supports, to keep me focussed on sobriety. Each evening after work, I would get myself a cuppa (tea) and indulge in SR up until bedtime (that covered my usual wine drinking time). The habit to reach for a bottle has now passed. Of course the hard work to stay sober will remain, but the early days are crucial, and I found needed a plan. Best wishes to you.
