I have had no low bottom yet.
Hmmmm...
But my kids (8 and 6) know when I "pass out." My wife hid the bottles. So they all know i drink too much. My kids talk about how nasty "drunks" are.
What do you consider a low bottom? Because as the father of an 8-year-old, I'd say you need to move the marker up a bit.... Now before you let your addiction seize on that as a reason to drink—shame! regret!—consider this. You are incredibly fortunate because you are in a position to stop the slide now, before it causes lasting damage. My daughter does not even recall seeing me with a drink in my hand. It's only been 17 months, but in her eyes, it's like I never drank at all.
Gratitude—that's the cure for regret. And you can start feeling it the minute you decide to put that bottle down, oinobares.
