Any advice would be appreciated; I am desperate to stop drinking.

My husband drinks wine at night, but promised me he wouldn’t leave alcohol at home. He throws out what he doesn’t finish at night.

The other day he made an eggnog and I said to myself, “I bet he won’t throw out that bottle of brandy.” It was a very simple matter to find it; it was kind of scary how quickly I was able to hone in on the hiding spot. I drank as my reward for finding the alcohol. How twisted is that?

I know alcohol should never be thought of as a reward. That’s Step 1 for me: appreciate that alcohol is not a reward.

Please, advice of any kind is welcome. Are you getting sober in a wet house?
