I decided that (one of) my New Year resolution(s) was going to be not drinking.
I don't drink much. I'm pretty overweight, but I can drink 4-5 drinks and not feel a thing, which worries me. I haven't had a drink since December. And I could probably list every drink I had in 2014, it was that infrequent.
I think part of me wants to get the ball rolling for my X. My brain knows it's not going to make a difference for him, but my heart how can I say anything about his substance abuse if I'm drinking?
My dad is an alcoholic who has been sober my entire life. My mom drinks responsibly. I have a good shot that I will end up on the wrong side of the bottle. I'm not going to risk it.
