"But you dont drink THAT much"...
"I don't think you're an alcoholic"
Anyone had people tell you this?
My husband doesn't think I'm an alcoholic. But he has been concerned at times that I will drink all of his alcohol... I think his version of what an alcoholic is is worse than what I've been presenting.
I come from an alcoholic family and I like to get drunk...
I'm pretty much an alcoholic.
Anyway I'm 4 days sober and I am going to my second AA meeting this week, tomorrow.
I've been to AA meetings here and there and I am a long time alanon member. My big brother got sober when I was 8, my mum also went to Alanon then. I grew up with knowledge of alcoholism.
I have loved drinking since I was 14. I'm 34 now. Been drinking for years and years.
I have two kids now, beautiful baby boys, ages 2.5 years and 6 months.
Drinking is not conducive to being a Breastfeeding, busy, hardworking mum.
I can no longer choose to turn to a couple of glasses of red to cope with screaming babies when I'm exhausted.
