[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 547053, member: 59"] Dash I heard over and over again from all the AA leads I went to, that they knew they were an alcholic from the first drink they took. So many said it did something for them that it didn't do for their friends and their friends would stop drinking at a point and they continued and they thought about it all the time and couldn't remember what they did when they were drunk and it happened so soon, didn't take years. The problem is that it takes much longer for alcohol to cause the kind of problems that drug abuse does and so it takes longer to get help. Also many of them said that when they drank it was the only time they felt comfortable in their own skin, that was said over and over again. When I have a drink it makes me feel relaxed but doesn't change how I feel about myself. Years ago when difficult child got drunk at her high school flag team party she told her friends that the only time she felt happy was when she drank. She was 15 years old and certainly didn't have years of drinking behind her. I was shocked when I heard her say that. It sounded like she was old beyond her years and had so much experience drinking. I hope your difficult child isn't headed this way but if she is I know you will be there to help her. Nancy [/QUOTE]
