The romanticised view of alcohol was a big one for me, a few beers after work in the sun, a nice glass of wine with dinner, a nice scotch on a winters night, but isn't that what people do on holiday, let's enjoy ourselves, let our hair down, it'll be fantastic!!
But what my mind never told me, or failed to mention as it set the scene, was that it was never a few, or a glass, it was always a bottle or multiple bottles, and always a whole case of beer!!
An important part of my Sobriety was getting past and exposing these kinds of myths and lies!!
