The latest stories
that will be her justification for drinking morning, noon and night. She’ll be quoting that fella for years to come.
As someone that is trying to stop drinking after knowing that I have imbibed too much for years, that story she shared was awful.
The problem is that if you have an issue with alcohol, you will take any justification and run with it. All she is doing is showcasing her actual issues. All of you lovely lot and your comments on her drinking has actually been a big help to me as a reminder that it's not really normal or okay to drink so much. I'm grateful for everyone's comments on her drinking as I have reflected on them personally.
I spent years as a weekend binge drinker from about the age of 15 to then turning into an every day drinker now in my 30's. My husbands is a tradesman and he has beers every day after work and that became my normal too. So I'd have a few beers after work while cooking dinner etc. I rarely get drunk but it became an issue because I couldn't go a day without a few drinks. That has been for years now. It's not something to aspire too. It's not something to be proud of. When you're in an echo chamber of either people around you doing the same thing or just not actually telling people that's what you're doing, you kind of forget that it's not normal. Or at least, it shouldn't be normal.
Her trying to play it off like drinking so much so often is just a laugh is kind of dangerous. Her saying that she is 'nearly' over the weekend but can see the next one already is kind of sickening.
Maybe it's just me but I don't like it. It's as shit as her wanting to help people with their diet and not cooking a meal ever and living on takeaway. Makes no sense.
Anyway. Rant over. I'm on day 3 no booze for the first time in too many years
