As a recovering alcoholic (430 days), the danger is drinking alone. If you find yourself drinking alone a lot, those are some serious red flags, especially if you're drinking liquor. I used to tell myself 'but I don't drink every day so it's fine' then 'I only drink at night so it's fine' then 'As long as I don't drink when I first wake up it's fine' then 'There are periods of time where I'm not drunk so it's fine' etc etc etc 😭😂

My parents aren’t alcoholics, but I’ve been warned by my parents and grandparents that BOTH sides of BOTH families have struggles with alcoholism. Always thought that wouldn’t be me, but here I am always itching to drink.
