Thanks. It's been oddly easy largely because of med changes. I'm a "down drinker"; I drown my sorrows when depressed. "Up drinkers" seem to be more common with bipolar disorder. Anyway, I haven't had much depression in the last 4 months. The trick will be maintaining resolve when I get depressed, because I know it is likely to happen again.

A nice bonus is not having the calories from alcohol and not having the cravings for the junk I ate when drinking. Between that and the reduced appetite from wellbutrin, I have lost 29 pounds so far (but I needed to lose twice that much to get a "healthy" BMI).

The only bad thing is what Innerzone mentioned about my other post; no one IRL seems to know/care how long it has been. In fairness, I do have to admit my wife was right when I told her about it a month ago expecting some encouragement and got "we've been here before." I hope this time will be different.
