sorry, which means that by suggesting you might have a problem doing the above minimises other people with a genuine illness and need for support.The only times (generally speaking) that I’ve ever not gone to a social occasion and not drunk is when pregnant or having lost a designated driver coin toss to my husband. Doesn’t make me an alcoholic in any sense of the word and I absolutely refute any suggestion it might do.
Oh Pukks. No.She held me for 15 minutes so you simply MUST follow her!
Blimey these insta events have changed since I used to go to themShe held me for 15 minutes so you simply MUST follow her!
Yes with you on this. Yes she’s v open about it (not necessary) but don’t think you call yourself an alcoholic lightly.I disagree with the doubting her problem with alcohol and being cynical about her choices to stop. For me, this is the line between reasonable gossip/discussion about influencers and sometimes when we descend in to something a bit uglier. Implying that you have to look/behave/be drinking a certain way/amount to be an alcoholic is one of the reasons lots of people with alcohol (and other substances) issues don't seek help sooner and continue to hurt themselves and others around them. Addiction is an illness and illnesses manifest differently, you wouldn't say to someone "oh you've only got a bit of cancer, no chemo for you." Yes alcoholism can look like you've wrecked your whole life and you're drinking all day everyday, but it can also not. And I say this as someone who is the child of a very stereotypical drug addict and inevitably we lost him to that when I was young. I commend her for recognising the issue and seeking help, and I'm always glad another child won't have to slowly lose a parent in that way.
