Sounds similar to me
Sounds similar to me. Very good career in the US in financial services (stressful though), great family but a newborn and another child with kidney problems (more stress), graduate school (seeing a pattern yet?), loving father but estranged husband (writing my own obituary???). I have every reason to be thankful and NOT a raging drunk yet those 3-4 bottles of wine win me over every night.
The pattern is clear, the response is clear and for some stupid reason I continue to fall into (many) bottles. Hell, I'd settle for "mostly sober" these days instead of bone dry for years, like many of the success stories on this site.
