Thank you for that feedback. Despite some high feelings of shame and guilt, I do believe that I can make some positive changes in my life. I think by first admitting that I have a problem with drinking has helped to set a framework and establish a plan. When I drink I often engage in a power struggle with my husband. My drinking problem is usually dormant, then I have a binge-type night. Usually every three months or so, sometimes less than that. Recently there was a death in my family which besides, the constant grief and loss, has also re-opened some unresolved issues. My husband and I are also having some difficulties, due to my having an affair. I didn't drink when I was having the affair.
