Yes.
Alcohol has become her priority. Everything else is an option.

Alcoholics become addicted to the alcohol.
They become addicted physically and need the alcohol fix to function.
They become addicted mentally and need the alcohol to cope.
They become addicted emotionally and need to have it around like a safety blanket.

SK, I am a recovering Alcoholic.
I am a mom, too.

I had become addicted to alcohol.
It became my obsession.

I had a warped sense of reality and I was in denial about how my drinking was affecting my family.

Today, in my life, we are all recovering.

i encourage you to keep reaching out for the support you need.
We are here to help you.
We care about YOU!
