I agree with Bullet, 9 months is a long time! You should be extremely proud of yourself. I know alcohol abuse, and what you describe is definitely not that. I personally don't see anything wrong with have a drink every day. Especially if it's a beer or glass of red wine. Those things are suppose to be good for you. BUT, if your 1 drink turns into 2, and then 3, and so on....then you'd have a problem. I don't know much about the "keying" of wrists, but it sounds painful. Have you ever tried meditation? It really is a wonderful thing. It sounds dumb, I know. I thought it was too, until I set my mind to it and it allowed me to see things in a whole new perspective. Life in general, really.
