Thank you all, these are great musings and really useful. You're all right, I took care of me and that's what counts on this journey.
I have been over thinking it, BUT when I first told a few select people that I was packing in the booze, she was the only one who made no comment either way and that's just not her, she talks for England.
Other friends, even those who drink a lot were supportive.
Anyway........ over thinking again, .......... I dealt with it.
