Hi, I am so grateful for your post. I am so much like you, except I have the husband worried about my daily consupmtion. I have a wonderful husband and a 16 mo old son who is just my entire world. I am 30, great shape, very active and very healthy believe it or not. We live in a great place and I have a great job. I have said before I have everything I could ask for. I don't have any real depression or anything that I feel I cannot "handle" and therefore NEED to drink, I just enjoy it; enjoy the taste and everything that goes with it, ok, not everything. So the point for me is, I do drink too much and it has caused trouble in my past. The answer to the question, why do we drink if are lives are pretty ok. It's the alcoholism, the disease that we have, that causes the obsession (I have that daily, the cravings, etc.) and the fact that we cannot have just one or two. I know my diesease has progressed. Think of it that way, think of your family and the time spent drinking, and not spent with your family. So do you believe you may be an alcoholic? Have you read any of the Big Book?
