I did it!! My update...
I dumped that ole $13 bottle of rum just a few minutes ago and I didn't even shed a tear that I thought I would lol. I know the obvious positives but hearing the benefits of quitting coming from you folks is what I need to hear. My husband hasn't been the emotional rock I needed this week... thank you all for your support 
Day 5 here, I will not drink today!

I was pretty sure that this group was going to be my best shot at propper support in the beginning and it has helped tremendously. After two weeks though, I can tell a difference in my wife, like she is no longer feeding off of the stress and anxiety I had and is more at peace herself.

It feels good to dump alchohol! It would be great if we could get in a ring and physically beat on our alcoholism but this is about as close we get. You dumped part of my life down the drain now I dump you down the drain!

I wondered if you were ever going to do that.
After I quit I found an empty pint bottle under the front seat of my car. There was still a couple drops in it of residual whisky to sniff. I decided to keep the bottle as a sobriety trophy. Don't ask me why that should make any sense. I decided I would call it my last bottle before I quit, but I doubt it was the actual last bottle. I don't remember putting it under the seat, and I don't know how long it had been there. I finally threw it out years later when I sold my house and decided not to take it with me.
A couple years before I quit I found an unopened pint bottle under my car seat. I had no recollection of why I put it there or how long it was there. But I remember feeling like I had struck gold when I found it. It was like a free bottle. It got me thinking about my drinking a little bit. Hiding bottles is a sign of alcoholism, but losing them? What does that mean?

It's going a lot better, knock on wood!! I'm on day 8 now and feeling pretty good! I've been sleeping ALOT and it's a great, high quality sleep. My emotions are a little more in check, I'm not so weepy and anxious. It helps too that my husband and I had a talk the other night. He has been there for me but admits that it's hard because he is dying of a heart condition and sometimes thinks to himself, "boy I wish that is all I had to worry about, there is no cure for my heart." It went alot deeper than that but it really really put things into perspective for me.
I'm doing okay
.thanks for asking!!
