I haven't drank for 21 years but I was not an alcoholic. I had problems for years and I drank because I didn't do drugs.
Fast forward I have medication for P.T.S.D, anxiety and depression. Makes me drowsy but so what. I never get into arguments and I don't have black outs.
My late boyfriend's friend has an alcohol problem but he says I am addicted to prescription medication. But we disagree cos I told him he has the worst addiction.
Alcohol is evil. If you get attacked and press charges the defendants lawyer will throw it at you about the alcohol.
Taxi drivers don't take drunk people.
