It's such a difficult time, I am really struggling myself. Don't underestimate how much worse drinking could make all of this.

I used to think that I was a "binge drinker" but, once I took inventory of my drinking....that was far from the truth. Be honest with yourself.
I don't understand this. I'm a binge drinker too. This doesn't mean we dont recognise the enormous problem we have, but we just dont drink every day. I would drink 3 times a week on average, about 10-12 beers each time, drink to the point of passing oht and it would affect all the days in between too, even if I weren't actually drinking. Being a binge drinker doesn't mean you havent got a problem, it's still an extremely problematic pattern of drinking!
