“I’m functioning normally in most aspects of my life. As long as I can maintain my job and spend time with my family, there’s no problem with my drinking. I need it at the end of the day. I’m affected by several problems and am constantly juggling so many things. Why do I have to change? I need a drink, and I deserve it.” —Elaina
