Watching dr Phil and one of the  guests said of her alcoholic husband" I see it as a prolonged suicide". I found that to do ring true because I think a lot of us drink because we are sad or don't know how to deal with a large problem. Like for me I was drinking  because I couldn't get my husband to understand  my need to have children even tho he's always professed to want them. I also couldn't cope with how his family enables his drug addict sister and all the and stress she causes us it's still a struggle when she's is in the picture or if he and I have a ridiculous fight there's def days I'm ready to drink but I fight through it causr I know it will make my health problems worse, could trigger a PTSD attack and will only hurt my chances of conception.  Just some interesting thoughts id like  to share. Hope everyone is having a good day.
