If you used to have a "problem" with drinking you shouldn't be drinking at all. By a "problem" I mean did you HAVE to drink -- did you NEED it and crave the drinks? Could you have just ONE and leave it at that or did you have to have more and more to the point of gettiing drunk? If you couldn't have just one, that you probably had a problem with it. If that's the case, then you really shouldn't be drinking at all.

BUT - if you THINK you're in control, be very very careful, because that one day may come when you go over that invisible line and you're on a roll. I'm sure you don't want to do that.

I would be honest with your boyfriend and tell him the truth, both about the alcohol, and the prescription drugs. Why NOT tell him? If he truly loves you, why keep secrets? What if he found out, and asked you why you didn't tell him? He'd be hurt for one thing, but then he'd wonder what other secrets you have. It's much safer to just be honest. The world isn't that big to keep secrets like that.

It sounds like things are going your way now and you don't want to screw things up so come clean and keep them going in the right direction. Congrats on the house too! Best of luck and keep us posted on how things are going, ok? And keep posting too! Hugs, Lee
