[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your life is hard. I get it. You deserve support.

But that's not why you are an alcoholic. It's why you have trouble fighting your alcoholism. It was easy to be a functional alcoholic before you had adult responsibility. [/quote]

OP it’s not an alcoholic[/quote]

The OP is absolutely an alcoholic. Did you read the first post? It sounds like she's a functional alcoholic, but an alcoholic nonetheless.

Things can go down quickly from here. While her responsibilities may currently be keeping her drinking under moderate control, that could change as her kids get older. [/quote]

Op - when I don’t have my kids I actually feel far less urge to drink 😂. That’s the point of the post! 
Not to say you are wrong. But when I just have to take care of me and not be patient and mature at all times, the stress goes away in large part. [/quote]

I get that, but what you're saying is alcohol is your coping mechanism. Right now that's from your kids. As you age, other things will come up. And you might turn to alcohol to cope with those problems as well.[/quote]
