Wouldn't Say That I Was An Alcoholic..

When mum died, just over 8 years ago, I did hit the bottle hard. Very hard. For, like, a couple of months. Ironically, mum died after a heart attack due to her ongoing drink and drugs lifestyle...so what did I do? Yep! Exactly!

Same drink of choice too - vodka and orange - but I got over that, thankfully.

I drink, of course, but not really to excess. Every couple of months or so I might go a little overboard for a night - binge drink - but that's about it.

Besides, I'm getting older! I can't handle the hangovers like I did when I was a teen...

Same. January 14th, 2014, I lost my Mom. And I found the bottle helped me deal with the grief i hept hidden. 10 months later, I faced my grief, and now drink only in moderation. 😔🤗💞

Update. April 22, 2022. My dad passed away and now I have 2 drinks a night, doubles mind you. I think it's not a problem, but my wife worries that majority of nights I drink, I drink alone. Why is that a problem I ask you?
