“I used to justify my drinking for different reasons, like having problems with my kids, work stress, or arguments with my husband. Day after day, something happened, and I ‘needed’ or ‘deserved’ a drink. Until one day, driving to pick up my kids, I had that moment of clarity: drinking is not because of this or that; it’s because of me. I should be in control, but I’m not controlling my drinking, and it’s becoming worse with time. Will I turn out to be an alcoholic if I continue drinking like this?” —Glenna
