If you NEED Alcohol Every Day, you are an Alcoholic. If you drink the minute you get home and all the way to bed, you are dependent on Alcohol. You are an emotional, physical, and / or psychology Alcoholic.

If most or ALL of your leisure activities have alcohol. YOU are an Alcoholic. Your kids know this, your friends know this. So you get friends who drink like you so it looks "ok" and it "looks" NORMAL or even the thing to do. That's Bull. It is NOT Ok to Drink everyday, every night. Especially if you have kids. You think you don't change, but YOU DO. Your talk, your words, the rules, your walk, your tone. It ALL changes and you don't even know.

I have been around those who drink a minimum of 6 beers a day, or 4 glasses of wine a night. They think they are not alcoholics but they change when they drink. That's alcoholism. My dad would drink a gallon of whiskey sometimes in a few days. Then not drink for weeks or months. Some family would go through a gallon of whiskey every few days and never run out, even if food and milk ran out, the whiskey never did. And they think this is ok, this is good parenting. It is NOT. Nothing I can do but heal that in me from my childhood and the family that does it now, I can only walk away, say a pray and leave it to God.
