I hope you're well, ArtFriend. Hopefully your lawyer is helping you get your mortgage stuff sorted out. I know finances are a huge source of stress to many of us. Deep down I suppose you know that there isn't any "safe" alcohol for an alcoholic, so I won't pile on. Probably the only effective course of action will be abstinence. That has been the case with me. I failed at moderation every time and you probably will, too. Maybe you're different, I dunno. I will say though that I have succeeded at abstinence and I have found a measure of peace in it. You probably can too.
Love and good fortune to you, AF!
