I respect this post. It is a true reflection of the lives we have all probably lived.
I was the drink until I’m staggering, got hateful or loud and obnoxious.
My husband was the quiet, go home without incident, didn’t change his behavior.
Amazing how it affects us all different.
Yet we all struggle to put it down.
Thank you for your wise reflection and reminder of how we used to be.
Kudos that you are strong enough to stand aside and watch without being tempted.
