Yep- drink to make it to work, drink at work to relieve the anxiety of drinking and getting caught, drinking when I was stressed, or angry, or happy or....
That same lady (young mum0 told a sotry of how she got off the bus, walked across the road to get her vodka, walked down the street opposite the bottlwe shop where she lived, drank part of- then hid the vodka at a new home building site..then walked the last few metres home.
Her hubby- had watched the whole dance from when she got off the bus. He said to her- you have been drinking, and despite the fact he told her he SAW her...she still denied it.
The power of active addiction. Sick people do not know when they get more sick.
Which is why the real drinking pro's like me..needed a very strong intervention (rock-b)...like nearly burning to death in a black out (me, btw..all okay now)
