Isolating with our drug of choice, here it’s alcohol, is so very common. In my case it was my wine in my LUCY Kitchen watching TV. One of the reasons I thought I wasn’t “hurting anyone”. My hubby & son were off doing their life and I wasn’t out driving my car. Just safe & blackout drunk each night ....
P.S. My drinking time began with dinner, then cooking dinner, I ended up beginning at 3:00pm. I’m convinced, given more time, I would have progressed and began morning drinking.
