I have had similiar experiences with my kids. I rarely drink now. Prior to my AH spiralling out of control I loved a cold beer on a Friday summer night. Then, I made the decision over a year ago I would never drink with him. But occasionally I would have one. I tried to explain to them that not everyone that has a drink is an alcoholic, but the power of what alcohol represents is enough for them. Havent drank in quite awhile and the Friday night urge left some time ago. Now a cherry coke is my celebration drink.
