I honestly have no knowledge in these quarters. I worry, though, for my son, as his father is an alcoholic. \*\* For me, it’s really not a daily struggle. I think there’s a point at which Not Drinking becomes a habit, and it’s not that easy to break that habit. Occasionally, though, I do want a drink, but I’ve got good support to help me deal with whatever it is that’s got me wanting a drink. Robin ---
