Hi Dina! Great to have you with us.
I know exactly what you mean. Alcohol ends up making our world very small. I always knew I didn't drink like others, but never imagined I'd wind up drinking all day. At the end of my drinking career I'd feel so shaky and sick after work - & a drink would calm me down. Little did I know what a dangerous & life-threatening habit I had developed. It was very hard to quit by the time I realized what my reckless behavior was costing me. I'm glad you're taking a hard look at what it's doing to your life.
