Welcome to the posting side, I’m glad you did, CFG76. I can attest to drinking being progressive, from social drinks, fine wine whilst dining, a coupe of drinks after a stressful day, occasionally.....to every evening, to every evening, to daytime, to eventually....well you can imagine.
But it doesn’t need to become that bad, you can step off that downwards elevator anytime you wish, and SR is a fantastic resource to utilise to do so!
