Good for you for not drinking too much. You mentioned you worry too much. This is the way I approach worrying - I ask myself if there anything I can do to solve it and I write down the one's I have control over and what I can do. Then I write the ones that are out of my control - then you can either rip it up or put it high on a shelf. The whole idea is - to find a way to put the thoughts to rest.
I don't drink because I'm afraid of turning into my brother who was a life long alcoholic and eventually passed from it - I won't go into details because it may upset some members. My mother was a binge drinker - she would go a while with no drinking, then when she was bothered she would turn to alcohol - I used to hate seeing her like that. I telling you this so you can relate to how your kids might feel. Now that I'm an adult I don't drink because I'm afraid of becoming like them and I can't tolerate being around someone's who's had too much. To me alcohol detroys lives. I praise you for restraining yourself and recognizing your weakness.
