I'm just curious and have a few questions about anyone who is or was a binge drinker. By binge drinking, I dont mean when we are all in HS or college and would binge drink for the weekend. I'm talking about adults who drink somehwhat under control for months and then suddenly something will trigger you to binge for about a week or so, drink non stop, unable to go to work and finally end up in the hospital to withdrawl. Doing this over and over for years and years.
Suddenly you find yourself at 40, divorced, estranged from your youngest kids and your wife of 18 years, now with a new woman and become a part of her family where heavy drinking is accepted. Your first wife hated the drinking and tried to control your drinking so you believe that your binges were a direct cause of her controlling your intake. Now that you are with a woman who lets you drink each night freely and your not trying to hide it, and the pressure is off to watch your intake, will the binges stop? Will there be control over drinking and no longer affect day to day life?
