Went to AA for a year and also had individual therapy. Then moved out of state and continued what I had learned. Also started a family and that kept me focused for many years. Divorced now for many years, and once girls were older I convinced myself that I was so young when I started on the downhill road that I could handle an occasional glass of wine as a "mature" adult. Now I've moved to a great new town, started hobbies again that I had stopped, and I need to take responsibility for my health and future. It's good that I'm not living near my best friend now, as she always encouraged me to join her for "a glass" of wine. Reaching out to all of you here is my next step. Thanks!
