Hey there. I'm a lot like you, I drink till I'm a train wreck. My husband wanted me to stop. So I did, and honestly it was mostly pretty great. Except I'm currently suffering because I messed up last night and I don't know I guess I thought I could 'just have a few,' ha! I have been trying different methods off and on for 15 years, and cannot be a moderate drinker. I gotta quit all the way.
I think your drinking sounds like its negatively affecting your life. And I think there's a problem on your hands... Because, if you are thinking about controlling it, and your wife is concerned and uncomfortable with it, there is a problem.
I had to realize that. I'm struggling to control it. Good luck in your search for a better way, I'm really glad you checked in here, it's been incredibly helpful for me along the way
