it's good to take a break from drinking. i try to as well. it's much easier once it's out of your system (after a day or two) i find the cravings are much less intense. good luck. i always used anna as an excuse not to open up a bottle of wine, because I couldn't walk her once I've been drinking. she was too much of a spazz... but I don't know if the same would work for you with Izzy?
