Okay, so this thread kinda got lost along the way, but I really wanted to answer your initial question.
I hate to get all serious and stuff but I really did want to talk to you about this when I say the thread. Just a warning.
Please be careful about drinking to forget/escape.

I started drinking for fun around the age of 13, like most kids do. I'd sneak out with older guys and what not...you know how that goes.

I continued on the normal path that a teen does...you know nothing out of the normal.

I met my husband when I was 20 and did the bar scene with him. He was 26 at the time and drank a case of beer a nite. I thought, no biggie, were young, its a phase.

FF a couple a yrs and him and I TOGETHER are drinking a quarter barrel a week.

Where am I going with this. Lemme get back to your question.

I became a stay at hime mom and my husband became EXTREMELY verbally abusive and a tad physical.

I started drinking to escape and numb the pain. I'd start drinking around 11 am. I wouldn't get drunk....just a little buzz to ease the pain.

My husband in the meantime got DUI and I hatye to admit, I also drank and drove on occasion.

FF me and hubby split, I get DEPENDENT on alcohol. (I am only now coming to realise this).

Anyways me and my husband are back together he quit drinking and he is FABULOUS AND HONORABLE. HE IS A GREAT MAN!

I on the other hand, am NOT a great person. I'm a fucking little ungrateful bitch, and I have some forgetting to do now. So I start drinking whiskey now at 9:30 am. Not drunk. Just a little bit of a numb face.

I get uncontrollable shakes if I don't drink.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not like a junkie type strung out. I'm a mom. A pretty awesome one. All the kids come over every week from the neighborhood, and the other moms, and I'm awesome with this for real.

But I'm also a drunk.

I drink to forget. But I don't forget, I get numb, then when I start to remember, I gotta drink agian.

You see?

Don't do it.

does your husband even know.. there is obviously a problem still there, you need to identify it so that you can control it...

before it begins to consume you..

My drinking has become a habit over the years. The older I get, the more I can consume. I just thought about it this morning, I don't drink during the week, but on my first day off, I will drink at least 8 beers, so it's really sort of a binge. I started taking Sat and Sun off, and yesterday I started drinking at 10am. Today, I won't drink, but it is a habit of sorts, it used to be a lot worse in my twenties. Alcoholism runs deep in my family, it's something that I notice, it is indicative of the problems I am trying to escape from.

Hey Karla.

Yeah you need to be careful if it runs in the family. Addictive personalities are no joke.

Its good that you are atleast aware. I mean I see you as a really responsible lady so you know your surroundings/limits/boundaries all of that, that comes into play.

Beer.

hahahaha, I wish. It's all an act, when all I really want to do is tear it up like I did when I was younger.

Was playing the song Wild Horses by The Rolling Stones over and over and over
