11. They don't have any accessible...

Oct 2013

My mother has a padlocked cache of wine that I stay away from. Long time back I actually stole from said cache when I was at my worst in terms of drinking (this was some years back), but I no longer do that and can't anyway. But they don't keep any other alcohol around for just this reason. Luckily I don't drink often, the bad thing is the times I drink I'm at my worst emotionally and I do it to self medicate. I've stopped for long periods in the past and plan to again. Fixing the other issues in my life are another matter but I believe I have the self control for this, at least right now.
