Have Drinking Habit Rarely. How To Come Out Of It?
I'm wondering what your thoughts are about being a dry drunk. I have not drank heavily for twenty years, but have been able to drink one or two drinks at a time. I made a decision to not drink more than two after my husband told me he didn't like my behavior when I did. So I've only gotten drunk twice in the last twenty years. However, I have been incredibly miserable emotionally.
