Thanks for the response. Losing my daughter was worse than anything I can explain but that does not give me permission to drink. What possible good would I get out of drinking? It would not bring her back, it would hurt me, it would hurt those that love me. There is no up side absolutely none.
So if I can't drink I better figure out a way to deal with the crushing grief sober. It is not that I am somehow special. There really is no other choice.
There will always be a reason to drink just no good ones
