Thank you for this. My AV was happily telling me this week that I didn't used to drink that much, not like a "real" alcoholic so I could easily going back to having a few drinks, as surely, my mental health must be okay by now (and I'm about to get some therapy for something, so in reality, I should not be pouring alcohol on top of it all).
You gave me a great reminder of what it's all about, thank you, very much, glad I looked at this thread.
