fighting outbreaks will bring you peace again

i am a male and contracted it at 21 while being drunk and stupid and at first really thought that my life which was going great at that moment is over. paradoxically the main thing that triggers outbreaks now is excessive alcohol so i had to pretty much cut that out. i am one of the persons with regular outbreaks so had to go on valtrex and have had average 2-3 minor outbreaks per year. once you stop having outbreaks often you really begin to regain emotional peace again and life just goes back to normal. the most difficult pain for me now is the idea that my wife whom i married after and who knows will start suffering also but she hasn't after 2 years. and if you have less than 2 outbreaks per year without any preventive measures then really you should not be wasting your time worrying yourself to death. just remember to use a condom when having sex with a non-infected person.
