WHY? Why do they drink so much? Because many of them have untreated alcoholism and I DO really believe that!
When I relapsed last year people came out of the woodwork that I would say qualify for AA, treatment, SR or whatever. I started drinking again and all of a sudden all of the drunks came out to play (drink) with me. 95% of them drank more than me and many would drink ALL day. When I told them I was an alcoholic and wanted to stop they said "are you kidding me? You are NOT an alcoholic! We drink WAY more than you!" Well, DUH! A few of the girls were even bragging about being "functioning alcoholics". What in the hell is a "functioning" alcoholic?
I AM an alcoholic! I have zero doubt! Just clarifying that to my AV. Haha
I'm glad I'm not drinking this year. It is NOT fun!!! It's just NOT!
Thanks for the post!!!
