Absolutely I do! Thanks for the welcome, JerryFish
The need to change my ways is very clear to me and is quite a motivational statement. I am somebody who obsesses with new processes/goals once I truly internalize them and claim them as my own, and this is one that I really want and need.
My current fool-proof plan is to not drink (fool-proof was said tongue-in-cheek). I know going forward that I will have my wife's support because she at least knows the physical issues I have when I do drink. I don't think I will have any detractors around me...and my son and I play horse until bed time so I have a great evening distraction
