I did the usual teenage thing was sick a few times, then didn't really have any, had 5 children rarely went out, if someone bought a bottle of wine for a present its was a real treat .Then 12 years ago got divorced (hubby ran off with his PA ) I met what I thought was a great fun man, turned out to be an abusive alcoholic I joined in with the drinking it became normal and a vicious circle. After 5 years of abuse I managed to escape. I then carried on drinking UNTILL NOW !!!!
