I grew up in what I would say is a "normal family" . Born and raised in the midwest, I am the younger twin. We transfered a few times. The last move that I made with my family was in my 7th grade. We moved to a neighborhood that had lots of block parties..we even had a keg in our basement fridge. (great for highschool get togethers, parents were too drunk to remember if they popped the keg or not!)...Anyway my Dad and Mom seperated when I was 16, that was hard because being a twin I was Dad's girl and my sister was Mom's girl (we have a much younger brother also). So I did grow up with lots of drinking in my family.
Fast forward...Married at 22, our courtship did contain drinking and I had started drinking alot at 19 (legal drinking age at the time). Had two kids, (lost 4 trying to get the two)worked full time, drank at night but my hubby didn't. When our youngest was 3 my husband got a promotion at work. It involved a transfer with huge increase in pay. So I had a new house, new town, and was able to do my dream job. Stay at home Mom! I always wanted to be that, my sister never wanted kids, lol...she still doesn't! (hmmm, that may take some thought, I could be holding thoughts inside regarding that....) So anyway here I was in a new town with two kids, one in school..and a hubby gone alot. Guess I had way to much time on my hands so beer became my bestfriend, morning through night.
Fast forward: Kids are now 13 & 10 and we have moved two more times. I have a beautiful home and a wonderful husband and 2 great kids....but beer is/was my very best friend. I need to break the habit as much if not even more than the addiction. My Husband and kids support me and love me so much...
I have so much time and love to make up for due to this stupid addiction.
So that is my story boring or not.
Thanks for listening,
