Hi Anna...well you nailed it with the bolded sentence. That is my issue in a nutshell. I can go 2-6 months between incidents but the incidents still occur. And they threaten my marriage and my job too. I used to always think, “at least I’m not one of those alcoholics” like the guy from Leaving Las Vegas. Well that feels like cold comfort now.
