I'm not that way with alcohol but am with marijuana. Both are problems for my AH. He's had problems with others but these are the last two he rationalizes are not a problem for him and that he can manage. I think I feel that way about marijuana and not alcohol because I think more people understand that alcohol can be dangerous but I hear way too many people touting marijuana as the new cure-all wonder non-drug that never hurt anybody because it is not addictive.
I do hate all the FB posts about alcohol and they make me sad. I feel like we, as a society, normalize frequent and binge drinking far too much.
