At 51 years of age I have conquered most of my addictions. But last nite I realized, alcohol is a crutch I have cli.nged to for years. Im in jeopardy of losing my family.Even though my wife says I don&#039;t care, I DO!! I am a functioning drunk and ready,willing and able to be sober. Though I don&#039;t drink every day, my drinking has become cumbersome to my wife. It is starting to affect my memory.I realize I must quit for ME, but I really want to stay with my family.The wife has had enough and has booted me out of our home,Love your approach and need inspiration.....thanks   MIKE</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello&#8230;..
