I just got told I was using his drinking as an "easy out"

I'm so flipping mad right now.

I have a FB group of women that I belong to and have known some of them for 11 yrs from when I was pregnant with my oldest.

One person was checking in on me and so I gave an update saying we had fun on vacation yet I felt I was checked out already.

One of the women messaged me and said that he didn't seem to really fall off the wagon and I was using his "few drinks" as an "easy out". And that it's "normal" for alcoholics to drink to see if they're normal (his excuse for drinking again).
She also told me I was probably depressed and taking my anger and sadness out on him.

Seriously?

So what if he had shot up 4 times or cheated on me 4 times? (he supposedly only had 4 drinks). What number makes it "ok" to give the green light for me to leave? The next time he drinks? After 5 slips? 10?

I messaged her back and told her that unless she has been affected by an alcoholic she has no idea what's it's like. I was nice as pie but wanted to tell her to screw.
