I sometimes think people take the word alcoholic too literally.
Not speaking just for you DG, but SOMETHING brought us here. I also have taken a step back and viewed these last 4 months. Being here has taught me to get down to the reasons I got to where I was and learn to handle situations differently.
I would really like to still have that expensive bottle of champagne with my husband on our 10 year anniversary next month like we've been planning for years, but I know I don't want to be the person on New Years Day who can't watch movies with her kids because she's in the bathroom throwing up the champagne from the night before.
My perspective is different now. I have learned a lot and will not stop coming here for support, even if i'm just reading, because the risk of going back to that place will always be there.
