I carry a lot of resentment towards alcohol. I know it's not rational but my ADP comes from a big, fairly close knit family and they all know he's a drunk and yet, when he asks what he can bring to a get-together, he was asked to bring wine (I guess they figured he'd be at the liquor store anyway). That really really made me angry. I avoid these gatherings usually because I feel like they have left his problem for me and want no part of it. I guess they've learned to detach, I'm still working on that.
I also have hard to control anger at liquor stores in general, and when a law was passed in my state to allow them to be open on Sundays, I became very depressed about it. It was like there was ONE day in the week that I, and others who lived with A's might get a break and that was taken away.
Like I said, I know it's not rational.
