Chapters

When dealing with someone who's a functional alcoholic is that alcoholism particularly, and this is kind of different than other addiction, is the denial when it comes to this is deeper. And the reason it's deeper is because when it comes to alcohol, you don't remember sometimes at all. And other times maybe you sort of remember, but you don't accurately remember. what happened and how you behaved and what all went down. And so it's really easy to feel like everyone else around you is overreacting when you don't remember it the same way they remember it.
