[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because they are alcoholics.  Once of the symptoms of alcoholism is denial that you are an alcoholic.

If you can't go one day, one week or one month without a drink you might have AUD otherwise known as alcoholism.

If you are struggling get to the emergency room. The doctors can give you meds to stop the withdraws.[/quote]

Finding dry January difficult because you're accustomed to have wine with dinner some evenings is not the same thing as having physical symptoms of withdrawal so bad that you need a visit to the ER. Like not at all. [/quote]

Except sometimes it is.

I know several wine mommies who suffered seizures when they went cold turkey. They certainly didn’t anticipate that happening. They didn’t think they had a problem. But a decade of heavy pours of wine each night altered their bodies.

Switching gears: anyone see the doctor on GMA this morning discussing Dry January? She noted the latest research documenting the very real cancer link and said she’s basically giving up her 3 glasses of wine each week for good as a result of the research. Basically: it’s stupid to ignore the clear science. [/quote]
