I am a 51 year old wife, teacher and mother of 2. I have a 21 year old son and a 25 year old daughter. New intro...I am sober and love it! It isn't always easy but it is always worth it! Old intro...I am fighting this damn drug called alcohol. I have been a weekend binge drinker for 30 years. I binge 2-3 times a month on a Friday or Saturday, but alcohol kicks my butt every single day of my life. I am sick of it!

Why am I the one with the problem? 3/27/18
I find it fascinating/confusing/frustrating that just because I can't seem to control my addiction to a drug, I am the one with the problem. Just because I don't want to put a poison in my body that makes me feel crappy, I am the one labeled as a problem drinker or can't seem to control an addiction or have some sort of genetic defect that makes it hard for me to drink "normally." Does anyone else hear how stupid that sounds? Why does that make me the one with the problem or defective in some way. The thought of that is absurd!

yeah, it’s silly. But that’s ok. I know that for me I have absolutely no problem if I don’t drink.
