However, what is the defining point between people who can, and people who cant drink? If I get on top of the issues that underlie why I drink, will I be able to drink socially? What can people tell me about this?
I don't know what or where that point is HandA.
What I do know is that I crossed it a long time ago.
I am an alcoholic - pardon me for sounding like a rap artist, but there's no remission from that condition.
For me, I have to accept that reality. I can work on those underlying things all I like - and I do - but that won't turn this pickle back into a cucumber.
