I love this response from people. When I finally told my mum I was an alcoholic she said 'I don't understand, isn't it just a matter of drinking less?'. 'Drinking less' was the one thing I knew I couldn't do. I had tried for years. You know what is best for you. Whenever I get it into my head that I could have a few I remind myself that I have never done it in the past so why would now be any different, and truthfully I can't see the point of having a couple of drinks. I drank to get drunk, took me a long time to admit that but it's true.
