Thank you so much both!

It's been a bit of an overwhelming time so your support does mean a lot.

Very heartening to hear that any ill effects would have surfaced by now too. Tonight has been the hardest so far. My OH is away for a few days and this is the time I often turn to wine (my 'other friend')

It's so 'good' (if that's the expression) to know that there are others out there who find the thought of no drinking 'forever' too much to bear.

I know I need to quit completely (I'm an all or nothing drinker) but currently, well, mourning the loss I suppose. Trying to remain positive - but will take your advice and look up my local AA.

Thanks

Heather

p.s. still haven't managed to call myself an alcoholic yet. I think that will be a real turning point.
