For the first month of my separation from AH, I drank wine. I hadn't drank wine in a LONG time. It took the edge off the stress of moving out. Now that it's been six months, I have a glass or two maybe twice a month. When we were together, I generally refrained from drinking as a show of support. Now, I drink occasionally with no guilt. I also think it doesn't hurt for my boys to see me have a glass of wine and keep it at that, because it is possible to drink in moderation!
