i am very proud of you dorrie for taking the courage to post here. i hope others follow. your story is so encouraging dorrie. thank you for posting.

i come from a family of alcoholics. my mothers side. i very very rarely drink. never outside the house. hubby and will have a glass of wine on a special occasion. he is a super duper light-weight. that one glas...mr bodybuilder..he is tipsy.

i remember all to well my uncles drinkig at family gatherings and then driving them and their kids home. nobody would stop them. same thing with my X's family. i vowed to never do that to my kids.

i do have to admit..i'm too frugal to pay the high price for a drink if we go out to eat.
