Morning all.
Hope Mrs T feels better soon.
Satz & JC I know where your coming from telling people about our problem.I said it to someone in work about a year ago.They laughed at me & told me I didn't.I think it comes down to,I drink more than her what about me?
As for family I haven't talked to mine in year's.That's a different story.But my mam & dad have a drink problem as well,but don't like to admit it.They think that because they don't drink at home they are not alkies.They are in the pub everynight of the week.And if my mam doesn't want to go to the pub my dad throws a tantrum like a spoiled 2 year old.Then theirs my sister that sits at home with her hubby drinking most nights.Then there is my brother that's addicted to the wacky backy & valium.His kids growing up always knew not to go near daddy's box.
So that's what I was brought up thinking it was the norm going to the pub everynight.
Sorry all that's my rant over with today.

Morning Chickadee,

Hey if you can't rant here, I don't know where you can rant.

It's good that you feel you can share with us.

Ahh I'm not an alcoholic rules...........

I only drink in the pub.
I only drink at home.
I only drink wine.
I only drink beer.
I never drink spirits.
I only drink with meals.................I eat 20 times a day
I never drink in the morning.

This was my list 12 months ago
I can't be an alko because :

• She drinks way more than me
• I don't binge drink - in public
• I never get drunk in public
• I do not drink in the morning - except on holiday - and basically that's just getting out of bed and having beer for brunch.
• I have a full time jobI go to the gym -when I'm not hungoverI've never fallen downI've never made a holy show of myselfI washI keep a nice house

But somehow I ended up here ...................

I always looked for people who drank more than me............and tbh couldn't really find anyone.
I did binge in public
I did get drunk in public
I did drink in the morning (oh and holidays were just great)
I had a job...................which I resigned from before I was errrrrrrrr pushed.
I was forever falling over...............always blamed the dog.
I made a holy show of myself a good few times
I washed when I needed to.
I kept a clean house and me kids were always washed, fed and spoilt rotten (over compensating )

And I only had an inkling it might be a problem.

Thank all that is good in this world that I ended up here.

And honestly Satz, I sooooooooooo glad you got a handle on it before it got as bad as me.
