"Drinking is fun" and other lies....
Thought I'd start a thread to expose the lies of our AVs. Feel free to add on!
AV: You're no fun anymore because you don't drink. Nobody likes you sober.
Me: Was it really that fun to embarrass yourself in front of all those people? What about puking? That was real fun. People who love me and know me, real friends, like me better sober.
AV: You were a better mother drunk. You are more easygoing and relaxed after you've had a few.
Me: Would I have been a better mother if my son had been injured after I passed out? If he had been killed as a result of my driving impaired?
AV: you're not an alcoholic.
Me: If I'm not an alcoholic, then why am I so obsessed? Why couldn't I quit? Why was wine the one and only thing I looked forward to?
