I had a real problem with alchohol when I was younger. It got to the point where I would have to drink every day (not get drunk, just have a drink or two) and I'd be getting $**tfaced almost every weekend. Dad always had it around plus all my friends were drinkers too. (still managed to graduate high school with honors though, go figure) In college, I kind of began to realize that I hated how the booze was making me feel. I didn't really get help though until my husband came along and made me realize I had an actual problem with drinking. Im proud to say Ive been sober for 3 years. I'll drink a beer on occasion (although I can hardly finish one) but Ive sworn off of all hard alchohol (it makes me ill now)
