Hi Jack,
Please don't consider yourself a hypocrit. The purpose of this site is to seek help and advice on taking control over drinking problems. (please correct me if I am wrong). Taking control may just mean cutting down, little by little, not necessarily quitting completely and right away. So Jack, your victories are helpful and inspiring for us all. And you should feel proud of yourself for taking steps toward a better life for you and your family.
Keep up the good fight!
Wendy
