Alcoholism is a dependence. http://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/fact-sheets/binge-drinking.htm Here is the CDC breakdown of binge drinking. I dont want other binge drinkers who read the comments here to assume they are doomed if they decide to keep drinking and become responsible about it.NodakValhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13212914336988501583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052693318564909128.post-47774990178092654022013-11-16T23:06:25.808-06:002013-11-16T23:06:25.808-06:00Thanks for sharing!

But my 10 year old finally is old enough to pay attention if he has had too much, and one weekend this summer, she did see him like that, and it was not a day any of us want to happen again. He maybe only drinks to excess one time a year, but it is too much, as we want her to NOT have that role model. Ever. In his family, teenagers drink and get drunk, and it is fine. They do it in front of adults. NOT in this family. Not for Elli. So, I think he is ready to change his ways, too. I hope you never do have another drop, Val. Not being able to stop is a sign of alcoholism, regardless of how often it happens. I am proud of you for stopping - and sharing! :-)<br />Jody J.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052693318564909128.post-42101378091199988272013-11-13T21:18:58.299-06:002013-11-13T21:18:58.299-06:00You had me at frozen pee puddle.You had me at frozen pee puddle.Kevnoreply@blogger.com
