Grannylyn, thank you for being so open, I have so much respect for you. I hope anyone on this forum that may be struggling with alcohol finds peace and compassion. Also, I wouldn't want anyone reading these posts to stop enjoying their favourite tipple because some of us have been unfortunate enough to find out just what damage too much alcohol for too long can wreak on themselves or those they love. My DH and I miss our glasses of wine, but not enough for it to matter. I think I'd like everyone to be a bit more alcohol aware, especially when there are young, impressionable minds around them when they drink. I'm sorry if I sound as I'm preaching, I've only just started learning the hard way.
