Thanks everybody, it really means a lot!
sugahorse... I'm no expert but maybe 1 or 2 drinks a night isn't bad? (Don't hold me to this, though)... the big concern with me is that I can't have just 1 or 2.... I did stay home last night when everyone else went out... and half of them don't even drink. Just best to avoid temptation altogether.
Thanks again, seriously, it is soooo great to have this encouragement!
