I have got exactly that reaction a number of times from my parents in the past. I guess they have known about my struggle throughout the years - I first got sober 13 years ago. They have seen me sober and then convince myself, my husband and them that I could now handle alcohol and then explain I really needed to get sober again. They've witnessed the rollercoaster and although I haven't spoken to them about it in the last 3-4 months - they are aware how much my drinking has impacted my children's lives. If I had that sort of conversation with them again, I really don't think I would be asked those questions now eg really? never again? not just one glass after 6pm?
My alcohol abuse (and the behaviours associated with this) have only become more severe/ destructive over the years. It is now time for me to stay sober once and for all (one day at a time!).
