Jewel - yes she drunk like any normal person does. Her life doesn't center around liquor, so honestly it is just not that big a deal.
All - thank you for the kind words, but I assure you it is she who is the foundation of our home. We are fortunate though to have matured together since college, so there is no separation between us. Hard to explain, but our union is a true one - made quitting a non event. That said - I was a flaming alcoholic, so believe me quitting was a necessity.
