Ed, good luck, I think alot of people have done the transfer of addictions. I am sure I have done the same, I just don't know what it is yet. I have been scared to death to take a drink, but this transfer is something common, and so common in fact that it was mentioned in my education seminar, like the divorce rate increases with gastric bypass.
I will pray for you Ed, your task will be difficult, I lived with an alcoholic husband for 10 years, it isn't pretty, but you can do it, because one thing we have learned here, is that Ed, and anyone of us, can do anything we want to do, and this is necessary for the quality of your life. I was happy to hear a few precious words about your personal life Ed, and I am sure that the discovery was an encouragement, and you saw very quick that the alcohol was getting in the way of life long success that you have worked so hard to achieve. One day at a time, and the spiritual awakening, that is where it will come together.
