Think about it... you're worth staying sober for Toot.... give yourself a pad on the back and onward and upwards. You're not that far away from it, it's the next step, isn't it?

Take care
Thank you Elke - and yes, you're pretty spot-on. I got tired of the strain drinking was putting on my relationship with my wife, so I quit. But I also know deep down I need to do it for me. So, yes, you're right about that too...it's time that I accepted that I have to be quit regardless of whether I'm alone or not.
