I can relate to so many of your posts; I'm really glad to have found SR. I think it will help me a lot to stay the course.

I have dealt with a LOT of pain in the last several years, which has taken me down this heavy drinking path. But I think I'm finally ready to let go of it and move on. I don't like the person I've turned into; I miss the old me! - positive and outgoing [well, and downright hyper, LOL].

My husband admitted to me just now that he drank on his business trip, but that he didn't get drunk. He says he will not drink around me, which is good. I guess I can live with that. He shouldn't have to give up some wine with dinner with colleagues when I can down 2-3 bottles, alone. Right?

It's a beautiful day in CA, so I'm going to do some gardening, which I very often do, but now no wine in hand. Have a good weekend!
Good for you garden gal
