Wow. That was fast. Thanks. I wasn't kidding about the lousy medical insurance so let's see what happens first. Within the past month or so, the longest I've gone without drinking is five nights and the worst thing to happen to me is persistent itching and intermittent sleeping. I'll push the panic button if I have to, but I'll wait until I have a reason to.
Thanks for the resources. I'll have a read. I'm looking forward to letting my hair down, so to speak, and being able to be honest with people about my drinking.
