i've been reading so much on the site for a bit now. some out of being able to relate, some out of curiosity and in turn, being sucked in. a family member recently died of oding on Imodium...which i never really heard of. looking up info on that is what led me to this site at all, which i think is ultimately a good thing (finding this site, that is. not the death...obviously).
personally though, i think i have an alcohol issue. 'think' as in, i know that i probably do...but maybe just don't want to fully accept/admit it. ??? i've been drinking super regularly for 12yrs. for the past 3yrs, it's basically daily, between 3-6 cocktails a night. in my head, that's not realllllllyyy an issue, right? except that the thought of taking a night off makes me anxious. i'm gainfully employed, a parent, in a stable relationship...i don't drive when i'm drinking, i wake up in the morning on time, i'm mindful of my hygiene. i basically feel like i'm constantly in a battle. trying to decide if this is ok or not. i haven't come to a conclusion yet.
on that note, hello.
