Hi Nicole. Thanks for your questions. Yes, listing the costs and benefits is an eyeopener, for sure.

Why don't you check out smartrecovery.org. You can buy the handbook plus other sources of support. Also, google to see if there is a meeting near you. Most likely there is as it's worldwide.

Have you quit drinking and your husband hasn't? That can be tough. But, I along with many others did it and you can, too.

My blog consists of a weekly post, while my writing on Medium is 6 days a week. You will find more info from me on Medium and Alcohol Is Not Your Friend also on Medium.

Looking forward to hearing your progress.
